Kinesthetic, but not visual, motor imagery modulates corticomotor excitability
Experimental Brain Research, 2005The hypothesis that motor imagery and actual movement involve overlapping neural structures in the central nervous system is supported by multiple lines of evidence. The aim of this study was to examine the modulation of corticomotor excitability during two types of strategies for motor imagery: Kinesthetic Motor Imagery (KMI) and Visual Motor Imagery (

How Kinesthetic Motor Imagery works: A predictive-processing theory of visualization in sports and motor expertise [PDF]
Journal of Physiology (Paris), 2015 Kinesthetic Motor Imagery (KMI) is an important technique to acquire and refine motor skills. KMI is widely used by professional athletes as an effective way to improve motor performance without overt motor output. Despite this obvious relevance, the functional mechanisms and neural circuits involved in KMI in sports are still poorly understood. In the

Kinesthetic motor imagery modulates body sway
Neuroscience, 2010The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of imagining an action implicating the body axis in the kinesthetic and visual motor imagery modalities upon the balance control system. Body sway analysis (measurement of center of pressure, CoP) together with electromyography (EMG) recording and verbal evaluation of imagery abilities were obtained ...

Postural Control During Visual and Kinesthetic Motor Imagery
Applied Psychophysiology and Biofeedback, 2011Despite the accumulating evidence supporting an interaction between cognitive functions and postural control, little is known about the selective impact of the mental representation of an action, i.e., motor imagery (MI) on postural control. As postural oscillations are reduced during a cognitive task of backward silent counting, a greater stability is

This chapter aims to provide an overview of the functional, physiological, and neural characteristics of motor imagery. The literature reviewed shows that motor imagery shares many characteristics with motor executions, both at a behavioral and a physiological level.

Brief Visual Deprivation Effects on Brain Oscillations During Kinesthetic and Visual-motor Imagery
Neuroscience, 2023It is widely recognized that opening and closing the eyes can direct attention to external or internal stimuli processing. This has been confirmed by studies showing the effects of changes in visual stimulation changes on cerebral activity during different tasks, e.g., motor imagery and execution.

Single-trial motor imagery classification is an integral part of a number of brain-computer interface (BCI) systems. The possible significance of the kind of imagery, involving rather kinesthetic or visual representations of actions, was addressed using the following experimental conditions: kinesthetic motor imagery (MIK), visual-motor imagery (MIV ...

Correlation between kinesthetic motor imagery of an amputated limb and phantom limb pain
Prosthetics & Orthotics International, 2022Background: Phantom limb pain (PLP) is a frequent painful sensation in amputees, and motor imagery (MI) is a useful approach for the treatment of this type of pain. However, it is not clear regarding the best MI modality for PLP.

Functional but Inefficient Kinesthetic Motor Imagery in Adolescents with Autism Spectrum Disorder
Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2017Whether action representation in individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is deficient remains controversial, as previous studies of action observation or imitation report conflicting results. Here we investigated the characteristics of action representation in adolescents with ASD through motor imagery (MI) using a hand rotation and an object ...

Data on whether motor imagery (MI) modulates spinal excitability are equivocal. The purpose of this study was to determine if imagined muscle contractions of the left plantar flexor (PF) alter spinal excitability, and if so, to determine whether this alteration is intensity dependent and/or localized to the target muscles.
