Abstract
Non-invasive spatiotemporal imaging of brain activity during large-scale, whole body movement is a significant methodological challenge for the field of movement neuroscience. Here, we present a dataset recorded using a new imaging modality – optically-pumped magnetoencephalography (OP-MEG) – to record brain activity during human stepping. Participants (n=3) performed a visually guided stepping task requiring precise foot placement while dual-axis and triaxial OP-MEG and leg muscle activity (electromyography, EMG) were recorded. The dataset also includes a structural MRI for each participant and foot kinematics. This multimodal dataset offers a resource for methodological development and testing for OPM data (e.g., movement-related interference rejection), within-subject analyses, and exploratory analyses to generate hypotheses for further work on the neural control of human stepping.
