Motor imagery is viewed as a window to cognitive motor processes and particularly to motor
control. Mental simulation theory [Jeannerod, M., 2001. Neural simulation of action: a …

We describe general concepts about motor imagery and differences to motor execution. The
problem of controlling what the subject actually does during imagery is emphasized. A major …

Neuromotor prostheses (NMPs) aim to replace or restore lost motor functions in paralysed
humans by routeing movement-related signals from the brain, around damaged parts of the …

Paralyzed muscles can be reanimated following spinal cord injury (SCI) using a brain-
computer interface (BCI) to enhance motor function alone. Importantly, the sense of touch is …

Background and Purpose—Understanding brain plasticity after stroke is important in
developing rehabilitation strategies. Active movement therapies show considerable promise …

There is now compelling evidence that motor imagery (MI) and actual movement share
common neural substrate. However, the question of how MI inhibits the transmission of …

The pathophysiology of brain and spinal cord injury (SCI) is complex and involves multiple
injury mechanisms that are spatially and temporally specific. It is now appreciated that many …

The ability to walk independently with the velocity and endurance that permit home and
community activities is a highly regarded goal for neurological rehabilitation after stroke …

Most therapies under development to restore motor function after spinal cord injury (SCI)
assume intact brain motor functions. To examine this assumption, 12 patients with chronic …

Motor imagery (MI, the mental representation of an action without engaging in its actual
execution) is a therapeutically relevant technique to promote motor recovery after neurologic …
