Virtual reality (VR) environments are increasingly being used by neuroscientists to simulate
natural events and social interactions. VR creates interactive, multimodal sensory stimuli that …

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 …

Objective Motor imagery (MI) is assumed to enhance poststroke motor recovery, yet its
benefits are debatable. Brain–computer interfaces (BCIs) can provide instantaneous and …

Recent experimental evidence suggests that rapid advancement of virtualreality (VR)
technologies has great potential for the development of novelstrategies for sensorimotor …

This randomized controlled trial evaluated the therapeutic benefit of mental practice with
motor imagery in stroke patients with persistent upper limb motor weakness. There is …

Background Stroke is a frequent cause of adult disability that can lead to enduring
impairments. However, given the life-long plasticity of the brain one could assume that …

Memory disturbances frequently occur after brain damage, but can be associated with
psychiatric illnesses as well. Amnesia—the most severe form of memory impairment—has …

Background: Cell transplantation is a 'hype and hope'in the current scenario. It is in the early
stage of development with promises to restore function in chronic diseases. Mesenchymal …

We present a virtual reality (VR)-based motor neurorehabilitation system for stroke patients
with upper limb paresis. It is based on two hypotheses:(1) observed actions correlated with …

OBJECTIVE. We sought to determine whether mental practice is an effective intervention to
improve upper-limb recovery after stroke. METHOD. We conducted a systematic review of …
