TLDR
This is the first study to show that the strength of corticospinal activation during imagery, which may be a determinant of the effectiveness of imagery training, is related to imagery ability in the general population, and has implications for clinical programs.

Brain–computer interface boosts motor imagery practice during stroke recovery

Floriana Pichiorri, +10 more
- 01 May 2015 - 
TL;DR: Brain–computer interfaces (BCIs) can provide instantaneous and quantitative measure of cerebral functions modulated by MI, and the efficacy of BCI‐monitored MI practice as add‐on intervention to usual rehabilitation care was evaluated in subacute stroke patients.

Movement Imagery Ability: Developmentand Assessment of a Revised Versionof the Vividness of Movement ImageryQuestionnaire

Ross Roberts, +4 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the VMIQ-2 has been modified in line with contemporary imagery modality and perspective conceptualizations, and the validity of the amended questionnaire has been tested.

Multiple roles of motor imagery during action observation

Stefan Vogt, +4 more
- 25 Nov 2013 - 
TL;DR: It is believed that an integrative account of AO and MI is theoretically attractive, that it should generate novel experimental approaches, and that it can also stimulate a wide range of applications in sport, occupational therapy, and neurorehabilitation.

Motor Imagery during Action Observation: A Brief Review of Evidence, Theory and Future Research Opportunities.

Daniel Eaves, +3 more
- 25 Oct 2016 - 
TL;DR: This article first reviews the available neurophysiological and behavioral evidence for the effects of combined action observation and motor imagery (AO+MI) on motor processes, and advocates a more integrated approach to AO+ MI techniques than has previously been adopted by movement scientists and practitioners alike.

Towards the integration of mental practice in rehabilitation programs. A critical review

Francine Malouin, +2 more
- 19 Sep 2013 - 
TL;DR: The challenge has now shifted towards the demonstration that MI training can enhance the effects of regular therapy in persons with subacute stroke during the period of spontaneous recovery.

The assessment and analysis of handedness: The Edinburgh inventory

R.C. Oldfield
- 01 Mar 1971 - 
TL;DR: An inventory of 20 items with a set of instructions and response- and computational-conventions is proposed and the results obtained from a young adult population numbering some 1100 individuals are reported.

Neural mechanisms subserving the perception of human actions

Jean Decety, +1 more
- 01 May 1999 - 
TL;DR: It is suggested that there are not yet conclusive arguments for a clear neurophysiological substrate supporting a common coding between perception and action.

The mental representation of hand movements after parietal cortex damage.

Angela Sirigu, +5 more
- 13 Sep 1996 - 
TL;DR: Patients with lesions restricted to the parietal cortex were found to be impaired selectively at predicting, through mental imagery, the time necessary to perform differentiated finger movements and visually guided pointing gestures, in comparison to normal individuals and to a patient with damage to the primary motor area.

Q1. What have the authors contributed in "The relationship between corticospinal excitability during motor imagery and motor imagery ability" ?

This study aimed to determine whether MEP amplitude was related to the motor imagery ability of participants. This is the first study to show that the strength of corticospinal activation during imagery, which may be a determinant of the effectiveness of imagery training, is related to imagery ability in the general population, and has implications for clinical programs.
