Alpha power (8-12 Hz) was monitored over the frontal, temporal, parietal and occipital lobes of the left and right cerebral hemispheres while participants mentally rotated three-dimensional shapes to match a specified target. By comparing the activational patterns generated during three experimental conditions, each designed to systematically isolate the involvement of the various subcomponents comprising this mental rotation task, it was suggested that the right frontal lobe mediates encoding and comparison/decision processes, while the left parietal and the left temporal region appear most involved in the generation of images and their mental rotation. A preliminary model describing the cooperative interaction of these cortical regions during mental rotation tasks is proposed.
在参与者对三维形状进行心理旋转以匹配特定目标时，对左右大脑半球的额叶、颞叶、顶叶和枕叶的α波功率（8 - 12赫兹）进行监测。通过比较在三种实验条件下产生的激活模式，每种条件都旨在系统地分离构成该心理旋转任务的各个子成分的参与情况，结果表明右额叶介导编码和比较/决策过程，而左顶叶和左颞叶区域似乎最参与图像的生成及其心理旋转。提出了一个描述这些皮质区域在心理旋转任务期间合作相互作用的初步模型。
