| Research Abstract |
We developed two tasks for magnetoencephalography (MEG) study, in order to investigate the neural mechanism of fatigue sensation. One task was based on the idea of the mirror system of fatigue sensation and the other utilized classical conditioning of fatigue sensation. We performed MEG studies on healthy participants. Equivalent current dipoles were estimated in the posterior cingulate cortex in both tasks, indicating the involvement of the brain region in fatigue sensation. Our results also suggested that these approaches utilizing mirror system of fatigue sensation or classical conditioning are effective in investigating the mechanism of fatigue sensation.
