Figure 9.

Mu rhythms. (a) A prominent Mu rhythm is seen over the right central region. Note the arciform waves of approximate alpha-range frequency of 8 to 12 Hz. Mu is reactive to movement or the thought of movement, unlike alpha activity, which is reactive instead to eye opening. Longitudinal bipolar montage. (b) Trains of asynchronous mu are seen over either central region during drowsiness. Copyright 2013. Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research. All rights reserved.
