Impact of repetition on physical and imagined movements

This study examines how repetition affects physical and imagined movements, finding that repetition reduces reaction times in both but influences movement times differently based on modality.

Mental Timing in Locomotion: Walking Across Real and Imagined Distances

This study replicates and extends Decety et al.'s 1989 findings on temporal equivalence between imagined and executed walking, showing no significant differences in walking times and strong correlations across distances.

Timecourse of corticospinal excitability for observed action: evidence of early suppression followed by return to baseline without facilitation

The paper examines corticospinal excitability changes during action observation, finding early suppression followed by a return to baseline without facilitation, with muscle-specific effects.

'RMT-Finder': an automated procedure to determine the Resting Motor Threshold for Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation

RMT-Finder automates RMT determination in TMS, showing high reliability and equivalence to manual methods with faster execution.

A comprehensive, open-source battery of movement imagery ability tests: Development and psychometric properties

The paper develops and validates online tests to assess movement imagery ability, finding adequate internal validity and reliability but weak criterion validity across tasks.

Comparing electromyography, accelerometry, and visual inspection to assess the resting motor threshold for transcranial magnetic stimulation

This paper compares electromyography, accelerometry, and visual inspection for estimating resting motor threshold in TMS, finding EMG is most accurate, while accelerometry is more reliable than visual inspection.

Information processing in the Hand Laterality Judgement Task: Fundamental differences between dorsal and palmar views revealed by a Forced Response paradigm

Development and validation of an open-source Hand Laterality Judgement Task for in-person and online studies

The paper develops and validates an open-source Hand Laterality Judgement Task for in-person and online use, showing it reliably detects motor imagery effects across formats.

Separate timescales for spatial and anatomical information processing of body stimuli

The paper investigates how spatial and anatomical information from body stimuli is processed over time, finding that spatial information is processed faster than anatomical information.

Multisensory approach in Mental Imagery: ALE meta-analyses comparing Motor, Visual and Auditory Imagery

The paper compares brain networks for Motor, Visual, and Auditory Imagery using meta-analyses of 439 neuroimaging experiments, finding modality-specific and shared neural patterns.

Bilateral Intracortical Inhibition during Unilateral Motor Preparation and Sequence Learning

This study investigates how sequence learning affects bilateral intracortical inhibition during motor preparation, finding that it alters baseline inhibition levels rather than the acute inhibition decreases during preparation.

Sub-Concussive Head Impacts From Heading Footballs Do Not Acutely Alter Brain Excitability As Compared to a Control Group

This study investigates whether sub-concussive head impacts from football headings alter brain excitability, finding no acute changes in corticomotor inhibition compared to a control group.

Consistent Under-reporting of Task Details in Motor Imagery Research

This paper reviews motor imagery research and finds that key protocol details are consistently under-reported, hindering replication and translation.
