Turning is a complex motor behavior that frequently triggers freezing of gait and falls in Parkinsons disease (PD), yet its neural dynamics in naturalistic settings remain unknown. Using chronic at-home intracranial recordings in four subjects with PD, we show that turning is marked by premotor cortical beta desynchronization driven by reduced burst rate. These findings identify a robust signature of ecological turning and implicate beta dynamics in adaptive motor transitions.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
