Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive technique for focal brain
stimulation based on electromagnetic induction where a fluctuating magnetic field induces a …

In the last decade, many studies confirmed the benefits of mental practice with motor
imagery. In this review we first aimed to compile data issued from fundamental and clinical …

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 …

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 …

Background Motor imagery (MI), a mental simulation of a movement without overt muscle
contraction, has been largely used to improve general motor tasks. However, the effects of …

Motor imagery (MI) has received a lot of interest during the last decades as its chronic or
acute use has demonstrated several effects on improving sport performances or skills. The …

In the present review, how to measure motor imagery ability, brain activity during motor
imagery, the benefits of motor imagery practice, and the influence of sensory inputs on motor …

Motor training consisting of repetitive thumb movements results in encoding of motor
memories in the primary motor cortex. It is not known if proprioceptive input originating in the …

Featured Application The reviewed studies reported evidence supporting the effectiveness
of motor imagery based on the PETTLEP model for strength increase and pain …

Background Researchers have tested the beliefs of sportspeople and sports medicine
specialists that cognitive strategies influence strength performance. Few investigators have …
