Assessing Your Understanding of the Brain, Muscles, EEG, and EMG

How familiar are you with the basic functions of the brain in movement control?

• Very familiar – I can explain how the brain controls movement in detail.

• Somewhat familiar – I know the basics but need more clarity.

• Slightly familiar – I’ve heard about it but don’t fully understand.

• Not familiar at all – I have no background in this.

How well do you understand muscle function and activation?

• Very well – I know how muscles contract and how motor units work.

• Somewhat – I understand muscle contraction at a general level.

• A little – I know muscles help with movement, but not the details.

• Not at all – I have no idea how muscles work.

Have you ever heard of EEG (electroencephalography)?

• Yes, and I understand how it works.

• Yes, but I don’t fully understand its function.

• I’ve heard of it, but I don’t know what it measures.

• No, I’ve never heard of EEG before.

How familiar are you with EMG (electromyography)?

• Very familiar – I understand how EMG works and what it measures.

• Somewhat familiar – I know it’s related to muscle activity but not in depth.

• Slightly familiar – I’ve heard of it but don’t really understand.

• Not familiar at all – This is new to me.

Have you ever encountered the concept of corticomuscular coherence (CMC)?

• Yes, I understand it well and have studied it before.

• I’ve heard of it but don’t fully understand.

• This is my first time learning about CMC.

• I have no idea what CMC is.

What best describes your background in neuroscience or movement science?

• I have formal training (e.g., coursework, research, or clinical experience).

• I have some knowledge but no formal training.

• I’m interested in the topic but have no prior experience.

• This is my first exposure to these topics.
