Motor imagery during action observation: a brief review of evidence, theory and future research opportunities
Motor imagery (MI) and action observation (AO) have traditionally been viewed as two
separate techniques, which can both be used alongside physical practice to enhance motor …

Imagining is not doing but involves specific motor commands: a review of experimental data related to motor inhibition
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 …

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