TL;DR: These results suggest that volitional control of neuromagnetic activity features recorded over central scalp regions can be achieved with BCI training after stroke, and used to control grasping actions through a mechanical hand orthosis.

TL;DR: While mental rotation of hands was faster in the front than in the back hands position, no similar effect was found when mentally rotating feet, and sensory-motor and postural information coming from the body may influencemental rotation of body parts according to specific, somatotopic rules.

TL;DR: Neurophysiological and subjective data converge to suggest a key role of long-term experience in modulating sensorimotor body representations during mental simulation of sports.

TL;DR: Analysis of lesion damage to structural network connectivity revealed that the impact on nodal betweenness centrality of the ipsilesional primary motor cortex, a measure that characterizes the importance of a brain region for integrating visuomotor information between frontal and parietal cortical regions and related thalamic nuclei, correlated with skill.

TL;DR: A greater facilitation of MEPs recorded from FDI was found in third person imagery where the action was clearly attributable to another person, and this result is attributed to activation of mirror systems for matching the imagined action with an inner visuo-motor template.
