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 …

The use of motor imagery is a widely used experimental paradigm for the study of cognitive
aspects of action planning and control in adults. Furthermore, there are indications that …

Specific physical or mental practice may induce short-and long-term neuroplastic changes in
the motor system and cause tools to become part of one's own body representation. Athletes …

Single pulse transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) was used to test the assumption that
kinesthetic imagery of action is more 'motor'than visual imagery of action. We assessed …

Several research studies indicate that children with developmental coordination disorder
(DCD) show delays with an array of perceptual-motor skills. One of the explanations, based …

In this paper we focus on modeling autonomous learning to improve performance of a
humanoid robot through a modular artificial neural networks architecture. A model of a …

Background: Repetition of motor imagery improves the motor function of patients with stroke.
However, patients who develop severe upper-limb paralysis after chronic stroke often have …

The processes and neural bases used for motor imagery are also used for the actual
execution of correspondent movements. Humans, however, can imagine movements they …

Transcranial magnetic stimulation studies have indicated that the physical practice of a force
production task increases corticospinal excitability during motor imagery (MI) of that task …

Theory suggests that imagined and executed movement planning relies on internal models
for action. Using a chronometry paradigm to compare the movement duration of imagined …
