Disentangling motor execution from motor imagery with the phantom limb

E Raffin, J Mattout, KT Reilly, P Giraux - Brain, 2012 - academic.oup.com
Amputees can move their phantom limb at will. These 'movements without movements' have
generally been considered as motor imagery rather than motor execution, but amputees can …
