Multiple roles of motor imagery during action observation [PDF]

, 2013
Over the last 20 years, the topics of action observation (AO) and motor imagery (MI) have been largely studied in isolation from each other, despite the early integrative account by Jeannerod (1994, 2001). Recent neuroimaging studies demonstrate enhanced

Action observation and acquired motor skills: An fMRI study with expert dancers [PDF]

, 2005
When we observe someone performing an action, do our brains simulate making that action? Acquired motor skills offer a unique way to test this question, since people differ widely in the actions they have learned to perform.

Exercise performance and corticospinal excitability during action observation [PDF]

, 2016
Purpose: Observation of a model performing fast exercise improves simultaneous exercise performance; however, the precise mechanism underpinning this effect is unknown.

Action Observation for Neurorehabilitation in Apraxia

Frontiers in Neurology, 2019
Neurorehabilitation and brain stimulation studies of post-stroke patients suggest that action-observation effects can lead to rapid improvements in the recovery of motor functions and long-term motor cortical reorganization.

CONGRUENCY OF GAZE METRICS IN ACTION, IMAGERY & ACTION OBSERVATION

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2013
The aim of this paper is to provide a review of eye movements during action execution, action observation and movement imagery. Furthermore, the paper highlights aspects of congruency in gaze metrics between these states. The implications of the imagery,

Different but complementary roles of action and gaze in action observation priming: Insights from eye- and motion-tracking measures

Frontiers in Psychology, 2015
Action priming following action observation is thought to be caused by the observed action kinematics being represented in the same brain areas as those used for action execution.

Prediction error induced motor contagions in human behaviors

eLife, 2018
Motor contagions refer to implicit effects on one's actions induced by observed actions. Motor contagions are believed to be induced simply by action observation and cause an observer's action to become similar to the action observed.

Engaging distributed cortical and cerebellar networks through motor execution, observation, and imagery

Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience, 2023
When we interact with the environment around us, we are sometimes active participants, making directed physical motor movements and other times only mentally engaging with our environment, taking in sensory information and internally planning our next ...
