Background
This study investigates the indicators of electroencephalographic (EEG) oscillatory activity and processes that are correlated with manual movements executed by the subdominant (left) hand in women with a high or a low individual α-frequency.

Material and methods
113 healthy right-handed women from the ages of 19 to 21 were divided randomly into two experimental groups with high (n = 59, IαF > 10.25 Hz) and low (n = 54, IαF ≤ 10.25 Hz) individual EEG α-frequency (IαF). EEG power during flexion or extension of the subdominant hand fingers was evaluated.

Results
Manual movements performed by women, especially those exhibiting high modal α-frequency, were accompanied by reduced α and β power in mid and posterior cortical areas. These changes occurred in combination with a local power increase in α1-oscillations in the frontal leads. A local increase of α3-activity in the frontal cortex areas was also revealed in women with low IαF. In this same group of women, generalized increases in EEG power of θ-, β- and γ-oscillations were observed in the cortex.

Conclusions
These results revealed a greater redundancy of brain processes in women with low IαF power compared to women with high α-frequency.
