This study shows that motor imagery activates similar neural representations in the primary motor area as motor execution, using fMRI and multi-voxel pattern analysis.

This study shows that task-related activity patterns in the primary sensorimotor cortex re-emerge during post-learning rest, correlating with improved motor performance.

The paper investigates brain activation patterns during duration-based and beat-based timing tasks, finding common neural substrates despite different stimulus types.
