The impact of training frequency on young dancers’ imagery use and ability
Asian Journal of Sport and Exercise Psychology, 2022 It is well established that adult dancers have the ability to image and use various types of imagery (e.g., metaphorical, character/role) when training and performing; yet less is known about young dancers.

Neurofeedback using real-time near-infrared spectroscopy enhances motor imagery related cortical activation. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Accumulating evidence indicates that motor imagery and motor execution share common neural networks. Accordingly, mental practices in the form of motor imagery have been implemented in rehabilitation regimes of stroke patients with favorable results ...

Neural Kinesthetic Contribution to Motor Imagery of Body Parts: Tongue, Hands, and Feet
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2021 Motor imagery (MI) is assimilated to a perception-action process, which is mentally represented. Although several models suggest that MI, and its equivalent motor execution, engage very similar brain areas, the mechanisms underlying MI and their ...
