Differential Influence of the Dorsal Premotor and Primary Somatosensory Cortex on Corticospinal Excitability during Kinesthetic and Visual Motor Imagery: A Low-Frequency Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Study [PDF]
Brain Sciences, 2021 Consistent evidence suggests that motor imagery involves the activation of several sensorimotor areas also involved during action execution, including the dorsal premotor cortex (dPMC) and the primary somatosensory cortex (S1).

Discovery of EEG effective connectivity during visual motor imagery with multi-scale symbolic transfer entropy [PDF]
Scientific ReportsVisual motor imagery (VMI) is an important component of motor imagery, with potential applications in brain-computer interfaces and motor rehabilitation due to its lower training cost compared to kinesthetic motor imagery (KMI).

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 ...

Kinesthetic and visual imagery in young adults with chronic neck pain
Sanamed, 2022 Background: Young adults complain of neck pain almost every year. In recent years the ability of motor imagery (kinesthetic and visual imagery) in many musculoskeletal system problems other than neck pain in young adults has been investigated in the ...
