Motor imagery (MI) is a cognitive process believed to rely on the representation developed through task-specific experience. Despite ideas about the equivalence between MI and execution, the relationship between visual-motor experiences and MI ability is unclear.

Handedness impacts the neural correlates of kinesthetic motor imagery and execution: A FMRI study. [PDF]
Abstract The human brain functional lateralization has been widely studied over the past decades, and neuroimaging studies have shown how activation of motor areas during hand movement execution (ME) is different according to hand dominance.

Motor imagery in individuals with congenital aphantasia [PDF]
Individuals who experience aphantasia have an inability to create sensory mental images, what lead to a range of cognitive and behavioral differences compared to the general population.

Muscle relaxation enhances motor imagery capacity in people with anxiety: A randomized clinical trial. [PDF]
BackgroundMotor imagery is the mental representation of a movement without physical execution. When motor imagery is performed to enhance motor learning and performance, participants must reach a temporal congruence between the imagined and actual ...

Study of the effects of kinesthetic motor imagery in patients with heart failure [PDF]
The aim was to investigate the acute effect of kinesthetic motor imagery of the 2-minute walk test on hemodynamic and cardiopulmonary variables in patients with heart failure.Twenty participants were recruited for the analysis of these variables before and after the execution and imagination of the 2-minute walk test, with the number of laps executed ...

Multiple roles of motor imagery during action observation [PDF]
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

The Effect of Expertise on Kinesthetic Motor Imagery of Complex Actions [PDF]
The ability to mentally simulate an action by recalling the body sensations relative to the real execution is referred to as kinesthetic motor imagery (MI). Frontal and parietal motor-related brain regions are generally engaged during MI. The present study aimed to investigate the time course and neural correlates of complex action imagery and possible

My hand or yours? Markedly different sensitivity to egocentric and allocentric views in the hand laterality task [PDF]
In the hand laterality task participants judge the handedness of visually presented stimuli – images of hands shown in a variety of postures and views - and indicate whether they perceive a right or left hand.

Kinesthetic Motor Imagery Modulates Intermuscular Coherence [PDF]
Intermuscular coherence can identify oscillatory coupling between two electromyographic (EMG) signals, measuring common presynaptic drive to motor neurons. Beta band oscillations (15-30 Hz) are hypothesized to originate largely from primary motor cortex, and are reduced during dynamic relative to static motor tasks. It has yet to be established whether
