The ability to mentally simulate an action by recalling the body sensations relative to the real
execution is referred to as kinesthetic motor imagery (MI). Frontal and parietal motor-related …

Abstract Kinesthetic Motor Imagery (KMI) is an important technique to acquire and refine
motor skills. KMI is widely used by professional athletes as an effective way to improve motor …

Although there is ample evidence that motor imagery activates similar cerebral regions to
those solicited during actual movements, it is still unknown whether visual (VI) and …

Research on action simulation identifies brain areas that are active while imagining or
performing simple overlearned actions. Are areas engaged during imagined movement …

Recent studies show that during a simple movement imagery task, the power of
sensorimotor rhythms differs according to handedness. However, the effects of motor …

Musicians use different kinds of imagery. This review focuses on kinesthetic imagery, which
has been shown to be an effective complement to actively playing an instrument. However …

The understanding of neurophysiological mechanisms responsible for motor imagery (MI) is
essential for the development of brain-computer interfaces (BCI) and bioprosthetics. Our …

Motor imagery, the 'mental rehearsal of motor acts without overt movements', involves either
a visual representation (visual imagery, VI) or mental simulation of movement, associated …

When we observe someone performing an action, do our brains simulate making that
action? Acquired motor skills offer a unique way to test this question, since people differ …

To elucidate the neural substrate associated with capabilities for kinesthetic motor imagery
of difficult whole-body movements, we measured brain activity during a trial involving both …
