Cerebral Dynamics during the Observation of Point-Light Displays Depicting Postural Adjustments. Design: We registered the EEG activity of 12 volunteers while they passively watched point light displays (PLD) depicting quiet stable (QB) and an unstable (UB) postural situations and their respective scrambled controls (QS and US). In a pretest, 13 volunteers evaluated the level of stability of our two biological stimuli through a stability scale.

Volunteers
12 participants

A total of 25 healthy male subjects were evaluated. Thirteen volunteers (age range 19–38 years) participated in the preliminary evaluation of the point-light videos built for this study, and 12 volunteers (age range 20–39 years) were subjected to the EEG data collection. All the subjects had normal or corrected vision, and did not report any neurological, orthopedic or muscular pathology; the volunteers were classified as right-handed, according to the Edinburgh lateral dominance scale (Oldfield, 1971). The volunteers signed an informed consent, after comprehensive information detailing the nature of the study and the protocol to be performed had been given to them. The local ethical research committee approved the present experimental protocol (process number 13481213.4.0000.5257).
