Chronometric and imaging studies have shown that motor imagery is used implicitly during
mental rotation tasks in which subjects for example judge the laterality of human hand …

Twelve right-handed men performed two mental rotation tasks and two control tasks while
whole-head functional magnetic resonance imaging was applied. Mental rotation tasks …

Behavioural and functional neuroanatomy studies demonstrate that mental rotation of body
parts is carried out through a sort of inner motor simulation. Here we examined whether …

Various studies on the hand laterality judgment task, using complex sets of stimuli, have
shown that the judgments during this task are dependent on bodily constraints. More …

WE investigated the spatio-temporal brain activity on the time scale of several milliseconds
related to the mental rotation task requiring judgements of hand orientation, using a whole …

We investigated the role of cerebral motor structures during mental hand rotation. Neural
activity was measured with event‐related potentials (ERPs) in 16 healthy participants while …

Functional imaging studies on mental rotation of hands have consistently pointed to the
importance of the motor network implying the use of motor simulations for task solving. There …

Previous psychophysical and neuroimaging studies suggest that perceiving the handedness
of a visually presented hand depends on sensorimotor processes that are specific to the …

The representation of the body in the brain is continuously updated with regard to peripheral
factors such as position or movement of body parts. In the present study, we investigated the …

Previous neuroimaging studies of mental image transformations have sometimes implicated
motor processes and sometimes not. In this study, prior to neuroimaging the subjects either …
