Leveraging the effector independent nature of motor imagery when it is paired with physical practice

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2020
While considered analogous to physical practice, the nature of imagery-based skill acquisition—specifically whether or not both effector independent and dependent encoding occurs through motor imagery—is not well understood.

Clinical Effectiveness of Motor Imagery Post-Stroke: An Evidence Based Review [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Following a stroke, many individuals experience participation limitations secondary to upper extremity hemiparesis (Shenn & Leishear, 2011). Motor imagery, the mental representation of movement without any body movement, is an evidenced-based ...

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

open access: yesFrontiers 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 ...

The individual difference of motor imagery ability evoked by visual stimulus and its personality manifestation

open access: yesHeliyon
Motor imagery has been commonly studied as a means of motor rehabilitation but, the individual differences limit its practical application. Visually evoked motor imagery has been widely highlighted by researchers because of its vivid stimulus.

The Effects of Sporting and Physical Practice on Visual and Kinesthetic Motor Imagery Vividness: A Comparative Study Between Athletic, Physically Active, and Exempted Adolescents

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2021
The interest of motor imagery practice on performance and motor learning is well-established. However, the impact of sporting and physical practice on motor imagery vividness is currently unclear, especially in youth.

Short time sports exercise boosts motor imagery patterns: implications of mental practice in rehabilitation programs [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Motor imagery (MI) is a commonly used paradigm for the study of motor learning or cognitive aspects of action control. The rationale for using MI training to promote the relearning of motor function arises from research on the functional correlates that ...

Handedness effects on motor imagery during kinesthetic and visual-motor conditions

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
Recent studies show that during a simple movement imagery task, the power of sensorimotor rhythms differs according to handedness. However, the effects of motor imagery perspectives on these differences have not been investigated yet.

Modulation of motor cortex inhibition during motor imagery

open access: yesJournal of Neurophysiology, 2017
Motor imagery (MI) is similar to overt movement, engaging common neural substrates and facilitating the corticomotor pathway; however, it does not result in excitatory descending motor output. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) can be used to assess inhibitory networks in the primary motor cortex via measures of 1-ms short-interval intracortical ...

Muscle relaxation enhances motor imagery capacity in people with anxiety: A randomized clinical trial.

open access: yesPLoS ONE
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 ...

Is implicit motor imagery a reliable strategy for a brain computer interface? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Explicit motor imagery (eMI) is a widely used brain computer interface (BCI) paradigm, but not everybody can accomplish this task. Here we propose a BCI based on implicit motor imagery (iMI).
