Current insights in the development of children’s motor imagery ability [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2015 Over the last two decades, the number of studies on motor imagery in children has witnessed a large expansion. Most studies used the hand laterality judgment paradigm or the mental chronometry paradigm to examine motor imagery ability. The main objective

Motor Imagery Ability and Motor Imagery Perspective Among Professional Football Players. [PDF]
Healthcare (Basel)Background: Motor Imagery (MI) refers to the mental simulation of movement without physical execution and activates brain areas involved in motor control. Its use in sports rehabilitation is growing due to its potential to promote recovery, reduce fear of re-injury, and maintain neuromuscular engagement.

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).

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

Aphantasia and motor imagery: a step further in understanding imagery and its role in motor cognition. [PDF]
J NeurophysiolThis article discusses the significance of a recent study by Kwaśniak et al. ( Sci Rep 15: 36337, 2025). This study assessed neural activation during the generation of motor imagery in aphantasics and control participants. The results of this study are placed in the context of the broader aphantasia literature and the importance of these results within

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 ...

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.
