INVESTIGATING SKILL ACQUISITION IN THE ABSENCE OF PHYSICAL PRACTICE: MOTOR IMAGERY-BASED SKILL ACQUISITION AND THE ROLE OF THE INFERIOR PARIETAL LOBULE
(2015)Motor imagery (MI), the mental rehearsal of movement, is a useful adjunct to physical practice (PP) in numerous domains and shows promise for post-stroke rehabilitation. However, it is unknown if MI alone can produce robust ... -
Investigating the effect of manipulating effector load on corticospinal excitability during motor imagery
(2022-08-19)Motor imagery drives motor skill improvement and acquisition, however recent research suggests the theories proposed to explain how this occurs may not fully account for the patterns of brain activation observed during ... -
INVESTIGATING THE EFFECT OF TASK NATURE ON CORTICOSPINAL EXCITABILITY DURING MOTOR IMAGERY
(2023-11-18)Little research has gone into investigating the role of task used in learning via motor imagery. It is possible that our understanding of imagery might be influenced by the task chosen for its study. To ascertain if previous ... -
Investigating The Influence Of Attentiveness On Motor Imagery Performance
(2023-11-15)Although much research has focused on motor imagery, the mental rehearsal of movement, little has examined the influence cognitive deficits have on its performance. Recent findings have shown that motor imagery is ... -
NEURAL MECHANISMS OF MOTOR IMAGERY AND THE NATURE OF IMAGERY-BASED SKILL ACQUISITION
(2019-08-23)Motor imagery (MI), the mental rehearsal of movement, is an effective adjunct to physical practice (PP) for driving skill acquisition. While considered analogous to PP, in that a simulation of movement occurs without overt ... -
Quantifying the patterns of functional connectivity within the brain during imagined and overt movement of a functional task in non-disabled systems
(2014-08-21)This project was aimed at quantifying functional connectivity within the brain during motor imagery (MI) and the actual performance of a motor task, and comparing these networks using graph theory. Fifteen participants ...
