Background: Cortical activity connected to movements has been investigated long since, and is related, among other factors, to saliency of the gesture. However, experiments performed on movements in actual situations are rare, as most of them have been performed in laboratory simulations. Besides, no research seems to have been carried out on...

Objective: Neurophysiological investigation of nociceptive pathway has so far been limited to late cortical responses. We sought to detect early components of the cortical evoked potentials possibly reflecting primary sensory activity. Methods: The 150 IDE micropatterned electrode was used to selectively activate Aδ intraepidermic fibres of the...
