Motor imagery (MI) or the mental simulation of action is now increasingly being studied
using neuroimaging techniques such as positron emission tomography and functional …

Abstract The Gesture as Simulated Action (GSA) framework was proposed to explain how
gestures arise from embodied simulations of the motor and perceptual states that occur …

Motor imagery (MI) is the cognitive rehearsal of an action without overt motor execution.
Among the prerequisites that are important in developing MI training programs, the timing of …

In order to perceive and act in its environment, the individual's body and its interactions with
the sensory and social environment are represented in the brain. This internal …

The ability to perform movement imagery has been shown to influence motor performance
and learning in sports and rehabilitation. Self-report questionnaires have been developed to …

Converging evidences suggest that mental movement simulation and actual movement
production share similar neurocognitive and learning processes. Although a large body of …

Over the last two decades, the number of studies on motor imagery in children has
witnessed a large expansion. Most studies used the hand laterality judgment paradigm or …

Imagery studies have varied widely in the methods used to deliver guided imagery
interventions. This variation has led to difficulties comparing studies and uncertainty as to …

Background Motor Imagery (MI) is a cognitive process consisting in mental simulation of
body movements without executing physical actions: its clinical use has been investigated …

Motor imagery (MI) is the ability to engage in the mental representation of a task consciously
or automatically without generating a voluntary movement. While the construct of MI and its …
