Benefits of Motor Imagery Training on Muscle Strength

Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research, 2010
It is well established that motor imagery (MI) improves motor performance and motor learning efficiently. Previous studies provided evidence that muscle strength may benefit from MI training, mainly when movements are under the control of large cortical areas in the primary motor cortex.

Rapid motor cortical plasticity can be induced by motor imagery training

Neuropsychologia, 2019
Previous behavioural research has revealed that motor imagery (MI) can be an effective technique to generate and enhance motor learning and rehabilitation. This MI-enhanced motor performance may emerge because MI shares overlapping neural networks with movement execution and observation and leads to the activation and neuro-plasticity of the motor ...

Motor system activation during motor imagery is positively related to the magnitude of cortical plastic changes following motor imagery training

Behavioural Brain Research, 2020
Motor imagery (MI) is a cognitive motor process wherein a person consciously imagines themselves performing a movement. Previous transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) studies have demonstrated that physical and observational training can elicit neuroplastic adaptations in the cortical representation of movement.

Enhancement of motor-imagery ability via combined action observation and motor-imagery training with proprioceptive neurofeedback

Neuropsychologia, 2018
Varied individual ability to control the sensory-motor rhythms may limit the potential use of motor-imagery (MI) in neurorehabilitation and neuroprosthetics. We employed neurofeedback training of MI under action observation (AO: AOMI) with proprioceptive feedback and examined whether it could enhance MI-induced event-related desynchronization (ERD ...

Training with Computer-Supported Motor Imagery in Post-Stroke Rehabilitation

CyberPsychology & Behavior, 2004
Converging lines of evidence suggest that motor imagery (the mental simulation of a motor act within working memory) is associated with subliminal activation of the motor system. This observation has led to the hypothesis that cortical activation during motor imagery may affect the acquisition of specific motor skills and help the recovery of motor ...

Keeping an eye on imagery: the role of eye movements during motor imagery training

Neuroscience, 2011
We recently found that spontaneous eye movements occur during motor imagery of hand movements, which are similar to those made during physical execution. In physical execution, eye movements have been shown to play an important role during training. In motor imagery practice, however, their effect remains unclear.

Behavioral improvements and brain functional alterations by motor imagery training

Brain Research, 2011
Motor imagery training is considered as an effective training strategy for motor skill learning and motor function rehabilitation. However, compared with studies of the neural mechanism underlying motor imagery, neuroimaging examinations of motor imagery training are comparatively few.

Enhanced Motor Imagery Training Using a Hybrid BCI With Feedback

IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Engineering, 2015
Motor imagery-related mu/beta rhythms, which can be voluntarily modulated by subjects, have been widely used in EEG-based brain computer interfaces (BCIs). Moreover, it has been suggested that motor imagery-specific EEG differences can be enhanced by feedback training.

Neurofeedback-based motor imagery training for brain–computer interface (BCI)

Journal of Neuroscience Methods, 2009
In the present study, we propose a neurofeedback-based motor imagery training system for EEG-based brain-computer interface (BCI). The proposed system can help individuals get the feel of motor imagery by presenting them with real-time brain activation maps on their cortex. Ten healthy participants took part in our experiment, half of whom were trained

Neural mechanisms of strength increase after one‐week motor imagery training

European Journal of Sport Science, 2017
AbstractThe neural mechanisms explaining strength increase following mental training by motor imagery (MI) are not clearly understood. While gains are mostly attributed to cortical reorganization, the sub‐cortical adaptations have never been investigated. The present study investigated the effects of MI training on muscle force capacity and the related
