Paradigms drawn from cognitive psychology have provided new insight into covert stages of
action. These states include not only intending actions that will eventually be executed, but …

The working hypothesis of the paper is that motor images are endowed with the same
properties as those of the (corresponding) motor representations, and therefore have the …

How people assign mental states to others and how they represent or conceptualize such
states in the first place are topics of interest to philosophy of mind, developmental …

Neuroimagery findings have shown similar cerebral networks associated with imagination
and execution of a movement. On the other hand, neuropsychological studies of parietal …

Motor imagery may be defined as a dynamic state during which representations of a given
motor act are internally rehearsed in working memory without any overt motor output. What …

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 …

Recent neuroimagery findings showed that the patterns of cerebral activation during the
mental rehearsal of a motor act are similar to those produced by its actual execution. This …

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

A 'simulation'theory of cognitive function can be based on three assumptions about brain
function. First, behaviour can be simulated by activating motor structures, as during an overt …
