The Impact of Motor Imageries on Aesthetic Judgment of Chinese Calligraphy: An fMRI Study
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2021 Previous behavioral studies on aesthetics demonstrated that there was a close association between perceived action and aesthetic appreciation. However, few studies explored whether motor imagery would influence aesthetic experience and its neural ...

Influence of kinesthetic motor imagery and effector specificity on the long-latency stretch response. [PDF]
J Neurophysiol, 2019 Abstract The long-latency “reflexive” response (LLR) following an upper-limb mechanical disturbance is generated by neural circuitry shared with voluntary control. This feedback response supports many task-dependent behaviours and permits the expression of goal-directed corrections at latencies shorter than voluntary reaction time.

A kinesthetic motor imagery study in patients with writer' cramp [PDF]
Arquivos de Neuro-Psiquiatria, 2009 The aim was to determine if patients with writer' cramp (WC) have abnormalities in kinesthetic motor imagery of hand movements. We timed the execution and simulation of a "finger tap task" and a "writing task" in 9 patients with simple WC and 9 matched healthy controls.

Investigating the dependencies between visual and kinesthetic motor imagery
Motor imagery (MI) is considered a cognitively driven process which involves – but is not limited to – the imagination of visual and kinesthetic properties of movement (Kosslyn et al., 2010).

Reliability and validity of the Japanese movement imagery questionnaire-revised second version
BMC Research Notes, 2022 Objective Developing a Japanese version of the Movement Imagery Questionnaire-Revised Second Version (MIQ-RS) is essential for widespread evaluation and treatment based on motor imagery in physically disabled persons and patients in rehabilitation.

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 ...

Effect of skill proficiency on motor imagery ability between amateur dancers and non-dancers
Frontiers in Psychology, 2022 Evidence has shown that athletes with high motor skill proficiency possess higher motor imagery ability than those with low motor skill proficiency. However, less is known whether this superiority in motor imagery ability emerges over amateur athletes ...

Shared neural representation between motor execution and kinesthetic imagery in the primary motor cortex. [PDF]
Imaging Neurosci (Camb)Abstract Although motor imagery activates higher-order motor-related areas, the role of the primary motor cortex (M1) in motor imagery remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate whether motor imagery recruits a neural representation of fingers similar to that of motor execution in the hand M1.

Neural activation and functional connectivity during motor imagery of bimanual everyday actions [PDF]
, 2012 Bimanual actions impose intermanual coordination demands not present during unimanual actions. We investigated the functional neuroanatomical correlates of these coordination demands in motor imagery (MI) of everyday actions using functional magnetic ...
