SUMMARY:

Introduction - Brain activation is characterized as the propagation of electrical impulses that promote functional integration of the brain. By obtaining brain activity, it is possible to study the activation coherence between pairs of electrodes, allowing the analysis of the relationships of different brain areas. Studies involving electroencephalography (EEG) have investigated the relationship between changes in brain activation patterns and changes in the behavior of individuals undergoing traditional rehabilitation. However, in recent years, virtual reality (VR) has been expanding as a therapeutic alternative and there is still insufficient knowledge about this relationship in this type of therapy.

Objective: This study aims to investigate the coherence of interhemispheric cortical activation in individuals submitted to a motor training experience for lower limbs in a real and virtual environment.

Methodology: Comparative study with 10 healthy young people who underwent an electroencephalographic evaluation during the task of step-ups a step in a virtual environment (basic step game on the Nintendo Wii) and in a real environment, both lasting 1 minute. The effects on cortical activity were observed through the collection performed by Emotiv EPOC. Cortical activation coherence data will be analyzed considering the alpha and beta frequency bands in both environments (real and virtual) and the statistical analysis will be done by ANOVA.

Expected results: It is expected to describe the brain activation behavior between the training sessions performed in real and virtual environments, thus allowing a better understanding of the motor learning process in these environments and favoring the basis for clinical decision making.
