We have previously reported the cerebral network activation and acute clinical effects of illusion on motor function during kinesthetic illusion induced by visual stimulation (KiNvis). This paper reviews a series of studies that investigated electroencephalographic (EEG) oscillations during KiNvis, as basic knowledge for applying the brain-machine interface using KiNvis in rehabilitation. In the left parietal lobe, the EEG oscillations during KiNvis differed from motor observation in that the EEG decrement in KiNvis showed area dependence. Therefore, the findings of this study suggest that the part that corresponded to the left superior parietal lobe may be an appropriate region for distinction of the difference of EEG oscillation between KiNvis and motor observation. We speculate that this knowledge will prove useful for the development of algorithms that can confirm the intensity of kinesthetic illusion in clinical rehabilitation.
