DOI: 10.1002/hbm.26284
Abstract: Accurate quantification of cortical engagement during mental imagery tasks remains a challenging brain‐imaging problem with immediate relevance to developing brain–computer interfaces. We analyzed magnetoencephalography (MEG) data from 18 individuals completing cued motor imagery, mental arithmetic,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00221-020-05751-9
Abstract: Recent research has shown that systematic postural adjustments occur during periods of manual motor imagery (MI), but the timing (anticipatory or reactive) and directionality (against or in the direction of arm extension) of these postural… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00221-020-05870-3
Abstract: Action observation (AO) and motor imagery (MI) are potential methods to improve various motor functions. AO and MI facilitate corticospinal excitability. Additionally, the combination of AO and MI (AO + MI) facilitates greater corticospinal excitability than AO… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00221-024-06951-3
Abstract: Motor imagery and execution often indicate a similar trend in the temporal characteristics of movements. This finding supports the notion of functional equivalence, whereby imagery and execution use a common neural representation. However, there is… read more here.
