TL;DR: Findings support the notion that mental training procedures can be applied as a therapeutic tool in rehabilitation and in applications for power training.

TL;DR: The present study investigated whether proprioceptive information on hand position is integrated similarly in 1PP and 3PP imagery of hand movements and showed stronger activation in left hemisphere motor and motor-related structures on 1PP compared with 3PP trials.

TL;DR: It is concluded that the perceived vividness of MI is parametrically associated with neural activity within sensorimotor areas, corroborate the hypothesis that MI is an outcome of neural computations based on movement representations located within motor areas.

TL;DR: The stronger activation of the cerebellum as well as of the SMA and the SPL in the expertise conditions suggests that experts rely on their more fine-tuned perceptual-motor representations that have improved during years of training when anticipating the effects of others' actions in their preferred sport.

TL;DR: It is suggested that the stronger activation of areas in the AON during the anticipation of action effects in experts reflects their use of the more fine‐tuned motor representations they have acquired and improved during years of training.
