Motor experience with a sport-specific implement affects motor imagery [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 The present study tested whether sport-specific implements facilitate motor imagery, whereas nonspecific implements disrupt motor imagery. We asked a group of basketball players (experts) and a group of healthy controls (novices) to physically perform ...

Motor Imagery of Speech: The Involvement of Primary Motor Cortex in Manual and Articulatory Motor Imagery [PDF]
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2019 Motor imagery refers to the phenomenon of imagining performing an action without action execution. Motor imagery and motor execution are assumed to share a similar underlying neural system that involves primary motor cortex (M1).

Muscle relaxation enhances motor imagery capacity in people with anxiety: A randomized clinical trial. [PDF]
PLoS ONEBackgroundMotor 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 ...

Controllability of Motor Imagery and Transformation of Visual Imagery
Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1994 This study examined the relation between control of motor imagery and generation and transformation of visual imagery by testing 54 subjects. We used two measures of the Controllability of Motor Imagery test to evaluate the ability to control motor imagery.

Characterization of kinesthetic motor imagery compared with visual motor imageries [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2021 AbstractMotor imagery (MI) is the only way for disabled subjects to robustly use a robot arm with a brain-machine interface. There are two main types of MI. Kinesthetic motor imagery (KMI) is proprioceptive (OR somato-) sensory imagination and Visual motor imagery (VMI) represents a visualization of the corresponding movement incorporating the visual ...

Multiple roles of motor imagery during action observation [PDF]
, 2013 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

Journal of Physiology-Paris, 2006 We describe general concepts about motor imagery and differences to motor execution. The problem of controlling what the subject actually does during imagery is emphasized. A major part of the chapter is dealing with mental training by imagery and the usage of motor imagination in athletes, musicians and during rehabilitation.

My hand or yours? Markedly different sensitivity to egocentric and allocentric views in the hand laterality task [PDF]
, 2011 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.

Imagining the way forward: A review of contemporary motor imagery theory
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2022 Over the past few decades, researchers have become interested in the mechanisms behind motor imagery (i.e., the mental rehearsal of action). During this time several theories of motor imagery have been proposed, offering diverging accounts of the ...
