Vinding, M. C., Tsitsi, P., Waldthaler, J., Oostenveld, R., Ingvar, M., Svenningsson, P., & Lundqvist, D. (2020). Reduction of spontaneous cortical beta bursts in Parkinson’s disease is linked to symptom severity. Brain Communications. https://doi.org/10.1093/braincomms/fcaa052

In the paper we present comparison of spontaneous transient beta bursts between patients with Parkinson's disease and matched healthy controls. We recorded three minutes resting-state magnetoencephalography (MEG) from 20 Parkinson's patients and 20 healthy controls. From the MEG data we extracted the beta band time-course and characterised spontaneous beta bursts. We then compared features of the beta burst between patients and controls and withing patients ON/OFF medication.
