{Tard, 2016 #2604}ERD/ERSparkinsonian patients with freezing of gait (FoG, n = 12) or without freezing of gait (n = 13), and in aged-matched HC (n = 13)event-related desynchronization/synchronization (ERD/ERS);

Attention during step preparation was modulated by means of an auditory oddball discrimination
task. EEG oscillations in different frequency bands were measured for the attentional stimulus and
the motor stimulus.
Over the 500 ms following the sound, low-frequency power increased in all three groups. This was followed by a power decrease in mid-range frequencies after both target and standard sounds in the healthy controls and in the non-FoG group. In contrast, EEG oscillations in the beta band were impaired in the FoG group, who notably failed to display event-related desynchronization after perceiving the sound.
Conclusions: An attentional stimulus was able to trigger event-related desynchronization before motor preparation in the non-FoG group but not in the FoG group.
Significance: In the FoG group, stimulus discrimination was maintained but the coupling between attention and motor preparation was impaired.
Parkinsonian patients with freezing of gait did not display beta desynchronization

Beta oscillations have a role in active immobilization (defined as a "sta tus quo" condition) (Engel and Fries, 2010) and are involved in the pathogenesis of bradykinesia.
Premotor beta ERD is observed before movement onset (i.e. during motor prepa ration or execution) and is correlated with greater cellular excitability in the thalamocortical system

beta ERS may correspond to the deactivation or active inhibition of the sensorimotor cortex

Limitations

The EEG is thought to be primarily generated by cortical pyramidal neurons in the cerebral cortex that are oriented perpendicularly to the brain's surface.The neural activity detectable by the EEG is the summation of the excitatory and inhibitory postsynaptic potentials of relatively large groups of neurons firing synchronously
biological and environmental electrical artifacts frequentlyMost notable is the presence of low-amplitude, high-frequency activity arising from scalp muscles, often frontally dominant but seen throughout the tracing. REMs, resulting from saccades and spontaneous changes of gaze, may be seen as small, rapid deflections in frontal regions. Extremely large-voltage, diphasic potentials in frontal regions result from blinks. This occurs because the eye is a dipole, relatively positive at the corneal surface and negative at the retinal surface, and the eye moves characteristically upward during a blink according to Bell phenomenon, resulting in a moving charge and potential change. Since the positivity of the cornea rotates upward toward frontal electrode sites, a transient positivity, then negativity is recorded there. Another common artifact during the waking EEG is caused by swallowing and the related movement of the tongue, which similar to the eye is a dipole and causes a slow potential with superimposed muscle artifact

delta power (1.0–4 Hz) Delta oscillation reflects the burst-pause firing pattern of the hyperpolarized thalamic cortex and corticothalamic neurons in synchronization (Steriade et al., 1993). Delta activity can be measured by delta power by Fourier analysis.
Higher sleep quality,
a biomarker of homeostatic sleep drive, as evidence shows that delta power is enhanced after prolonged wakefulness, but declines as sleep deepens.
delta power is often accompanied by sleep duration and intensity (Davis et al., 2011
