Imagery interventions in sport.

TLDR
The conclusion is reached that mental practice research has produced equivocal results and the reasons for this are examined.
Abstract
The use of imagery processes in the regulation and enhancement of sports performance is examined in this review paper Research studies in this area are reviewed and four general categories of research are identified: 1) mental practice, 2) precompetition imagery, 3) comparisons of successful and unsuccessful competitors, and 4) mediating variables The conclusion is reached that mental practice research has produced equivocal results and the reasons for this are examined The argument is made that the mental practice model for research into imagery processes in sports is nonproductive Suggestions for future research directions are offered and guidelines for productive imagery research in sport are provided

Cortical activity during motor execution, motor imagery, and imagery-based online feedback

TL;DR: By comparing responses to electrocortical stimulation with imagery-induced cortical surface activity, the role of primary motor areas in movement imagery is demonstrated and it is quantitatively established that the spatial distribution of local neuronal population activity during motor imagery mimics the spatial distributed of activity during actual motor movement.

Neural correlates of action: Comparing meta-analyses of imagery, observation, and execution

TL;DR: Previous models of the similarities in the networks for Motor Imagery, Action Observation, and Movement Execution are quantified and amended, while highlighting key differences in their recruitment of motor cortex, parietal cortex, and subcortical structures.

Neurofeedback-based motor imagery training for brain–computer interface (BCI)

TL;DR: The proposed neurofeedback-based motor imagery training system can help individuals get the feel of motor imagery by presenting them with real-time brain activation maps on their cortex and will be useful not only for BCI applications, but for functional brain mapping studies that utilize motor imagery tasks as well.
