Abstract
THE neuropsychophysiology underlying the sense and change of limb position in animals and man is a centre of enquiry by many disciplines ranging from medicine and physiology to psychology and sociology1. Consistent changes in the electrocorticogram (ECoG) following change of position have, however, not yet been reported in man, although recordings of unit activity during neurosurgical operations have demonstrated neuronal activity in cortex2 and sub-cortical structures3–5. Limited data from scalp recordings after passive movement have also been reported6,7.
