Learning motor actions via imagery—perceptual or motor learning?

C Frank, SN Kraeutner, M Rieger, SG Boe - Psychological Research, 2024 - Springer
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 …

A theoretical perspective on action consequences in action imagery: Internal prediction as an essential mechanism to detect errors

M Rieger, SG Boe, TGJ Ingram, VKE Bart… - Psychological …, 2024 - Springer

On the characterization of cognitive tasks using activity-specific short-lived synchronization between electroencephalography channels

BO Olcay, M Özgören, B Karaçalı - Neural Networks, 2021 - Elsevier
Accurate characterization of brain activity during a cognitive task is challenging due to the
dynamically changing and the complex nature of the brain. The majority of the proposed …

Muscle activity and lower body kinematics change when performing motor imagery of gait

H Haltmar, M Janura, B Kolářová - Scientific Reports, 2025 - nature.com
Motor imagery (MI) is a mental simulation of a movement without its actual execution. Our
study aimed to assess how MI of two modalities of gait (normal gait and much more …

Decay of inhibition in motor imagery

VKE Bart, I Koch, M Rieger - Quarterly Journal of …, 2021 - journals.sagepub.com
During motor imagery, global inhibition and effector-specific inhibition contribute to prevent
actual movements. We investigated the decay of inhibition using an action-mode switching …

Neural dynamics underlying coordination between training-induced habitual and goal-directed responses

M He, W Wen, D Hazel, P Berning - Cognitive, Affective, & Behavioral …, 2024 - Springer
Understanding the neurocognitive mechanisms that govern the coordination of habitual and
goal-directed behaviors is important, because impaired coordination will cause various …

Expectations affect the contribution of tonic global inhibition, but not of phasic global inhibition to motor imagery.

VKE Bart, I Koch, M Rieger - Journal of Experimental Psychology …, 2021 - psycnet.apa.org
In motor imagery, effector-specific inhibition (inhibition of the used effector) and global
inhibition (inhibition of all motor commands) prevent actual actions. Global inhibition is partly …
