It is well accepted that repeatedly imagining oneself acting without any overt behavior can
lead to learning. The prominent theory accounting for why imagery practice is effective …

Motor simulation theory (MST;) purports to explain how various action-related cognitive
states relate to actual motor execution. Specifically, it proposes that motor imagery (MI; …

A remarkable feature of the human brain is its ability to integrate information from the
environment with internally generated content. The integration of top-down and bottom-up …

There is now compelling evidence that motor imagery (MI) promotes motor learning. While
MI has been shown to influence the early stages of the learning process, recent data …

Experiments show activation of the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) in motor
imagery (MI) tasks, but its functional role requires further investigation. Here, we address this …

Motor imagery (MI), defined as the mental implementation of an action in the absence of
movement or muscle activation, is a rehabilitation technique that offers a means to replace …

Motor imagery (MI) is the mental simulation of action frequently used by professionals in
different fields. However, with respect to performance, well‐controlled functional imaging …

Cerebral vascular accidents (strokes) are a leading cause of motor deficiency in millions of
people worldwide. While a complex range of biological systems is affected following a …

Background: Mental practice with motor imagery has been shown to promote motor skill
acquisition in healthy subjects and patients. Although lesions of the common motor imagery …

Motor imagery (MI), the mental rehearsal of a motor task, is thought to be a synergistic
interaction between processes that allow for the generation, maintenance, and …
