imagery improves motor performance. These two techniques are widely used in sports and
in the rehabilitation of movement-related disorders. Motor imagery has also been used for
brain–machine/computer interfaces (BMI/BCI). During both action observation and motor
imagery, motor-related regions such as the premotor cortex and inferior parietal lobule are
activated. This is common to actual execution and are involved with the underlying …
