Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2022.12.06.519290v1?rss=1 Authors: Conessa, A., Debarnot, U., Siegler, I., Boutin, A. Abstract: Sleep benefits the consolidation of motor skills learned by physical practice, mainly through periodic thalamocortical sleep spindle activity. However, motor skills can be learned without overt movement, either through motor imagery or action observation. Here, we investigated whether sleep spindle activity also supports the consolidation of non-physically learned movements. Forty-five electroencephalographic sleep recordings were collected during a daytime nap after motor sequence learning by physical practice, motor imagery or action observation. Our findings revealed that irrespective of the modality of practice, spindles tend to cluster in trains on a low-frequency time scale of about 50 seconds, and during which spindles iterate every 3-4 seconds. However, despite this apparent modality-unspecific temporal organization of sleep spindles, different behavioral outcomes were elicited. We show that a daytime nap offers an early sleep window that promotes the retention of the learned motor skill following PP and MI practice, and its generalizability towards the transfer of skill from one effector to another after AO practice. Altogether, we demonstrated that the temporal cluster-based organization of sleep spindles may be a general mechanism for effective memory reprocessing. Copy rights belong to original authors.

B., Figueiredo, P. Abstract: Training motor imagery (MI) and motor observation (MO) tasks is being intensively exploited to promote brain plasticity in the context of post-stroke rehabilitation strategies. The desired brain plasticity mechanisms may benefit from the use of closed-loop neurofeedback, embedded in brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) to provide an alternative non-muscular channel. These can be further augmented through embodied feedback delivered through virtual reality (VR). Here, we used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to map brain activation elicited by a VR-based MI-MO BCI task called NeuRow and compared with a conventional non-VR, and MI-only, task based on the Graz BCI paradigm. We found that, in healthy adults, NeuRow elicits stronger brain activation when compared to the Graz task, as well as to an overt motor execution task, recruiting large portions of the parietal and occipital cortices in addition to the motor and premotor cortices. In particular, NeuRow activates the mirror neuron system (MNS), associated with action observation, as well as visual areas related with visual attention and motion processing. We studied a cohort of healthy adults including younger and older subgroups, and found no significant age-related effects in the measured brain activity. Overall, our findings suggest that the virtual representation of the arms in a bimanual MI-MO task engage the brain beyond conventional MI tasks, even in older adults, which we propose could be explored for effective neurorehabilitation protocols.

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2022.10.31.514494v1?rss=1 Authors: Martel, M., Glover, S. Abstract: Motor imagery has long been characterised as the internal experience of the silent unfolding of motor processes, known as the Functional Equivalence view. We argue that a stronger account of motor imagery incorporates how it differs from physical action, as encapsulated in the Motor-Cognitive model. The Motor-Cognitive model argues that in lieu of online control, motor imagery is elaborated using cognitive processes relying on executive resources. We tested the Motor-Cognitive and Functional Equivalence models in experiments that manipulated the quality of information available during movement through 1) removing vision; 2) restricting vision to the periphery; or 3) miming the movement. All three experiments found strong evidence in favour of the Motor-Cognitive model and against the Functional Equivalence view. We discuss these results in the broader context of the processes involved in mental imagery. Copy rights belong to original authors. Visit the link for more info Podcast created by Paper Player, LLC

I'm delighted to speak with Dr Matthew Scott, Prof Paul Holmes and Dr David Wright in this episode.   Matt is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University of British Columbia in the School of Kinesiology. Matt investigates the effect of dyad practice - training with a partner - on motor learning. His interests are in combined (and independent) action observation and motor imagery, motor learning and motor control. Paul is Deputy Pro-Vice Chancellor in the Faculty of Health and Education at Manchester Metropolitan University and a Research Professor of Motor Cognition. Paul's research interests include motor cognition in human performance and movement rehabilitation where he has published widely on both subjects focusing on motor imagery and action observation mechanisms. Paul has worked as a sport psychologist in high performance sport for over 25 years. David is a Senior Lecturer in Psychology in the Department of Exercise and Sport Science at Manchester Metropolitan University. His area of interest is in neurophysiological processes involved in various aspects of sport psychology. David's research focuses on motor imagery using brain stimulation techniques. Matt, Paul, David and I discuss a fascinating paper they have published alongside Dr Dave Smith and led by Matt which reviews PETTLEP imagery. The PETTLEP model was first published by Paul and Professor Dave Collins 20 years ago as a framework to improve the delivery and outcome of motor imagery (MI) interventions. Drawing on research from neuroscience, cognitive-behavioural psychology, and sport psychology the model served as a set of guidelines for sport psychologists to consider when developing MI interventions and tailoring them to individual athlete needs. PETTLEP is an acronym for seven practical elements that sport psychologists could consider when developing MI interventions with athletes (Physical, Environment, Task, Timing, Learning, Emotion, and Perspective). In the 20 years since its publication, the PETTLEP model has become one of the most dominant models for structuring MI interventions in sport.  Please see a link to the paper here https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2667239122000260?via%3Dihub

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2022.10.25.513501v1?rss=1 Authors: Van Caenegem, E. E., Hamoline, G., Waltzing, B. M., Hardwick, R. M. Abstract: Motor Imagery is a subject of longstanding scientific interest. However, critical details of motor imagery protocols are not always reported in full, hampering direct replication and translation of this work. The present review provides a quantitative assessment of the prevalence of under reporting in the recent motor imagery literature. Publications from the years 2018-2020 were examined, with 695 meeting the inclusion criteria for further examination. Of these studies, 64% (445/695) did not provide information about the modality of motor imagery (i.e.,kinesthetic, visual, or a mixture of both) used in the study. When visual or mixed imagery was specified, the details of the visual perspective to be used (i.e., first person, third person, or combinations of both) were not reported in 24% (25/103) of studies. Further analysis indicated that studies using questionnaires to assess motor imagery reported more information than those that did not. We conclude that studies using motor imagery consistently under-report key details of their protocols, which poses a significant problem for understanding, replicating, and translating motor imagery effects.

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2022.10.04.510767v1?rss=1 Authors: Hilt, P. M., Bertrand, M., Feasson, L., Lebon, F., Mourey, F., Ruffino, C., Rozand, V. Abstract: Human aging is associated with a decline in the capacity to memorize recently acquired motor skills. Motor imagery training is a beneficial method to compensate for this deterioration in old adults. It is not yet known whether these beneficial effects are maintained in very old adults ( greater than 80 years), more affected by the degeneration processes. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a mental training session of motor imagery on the memorization of new motor skills acquired through physical practice in very old adults. Thirty very old adults performed 3 actual trials of a manual dexterity task (session 1) or a sequential footstep task (session 2) as fast as they could before and after a 20-min motor imagery training (mental-training group) or watching a documentary for 20 min (control group). Performance was improved after 3 actual trials for both tasks and both groups. For the control group, performance decreased in the manual dexterity task after the 20-min break and remained stable in the sequential stepping task. For the mental-training group, performance was maintained in the manual dexterity task after the 20-min motor imagery training and increased in the sequential stepping task. These results extended the benefits of motor imagery training to the very old population, showing that even a short motor imagery training improved their performance and favor the motor memory process. These results confirmed that motor imagery training is an effective method to complement traditional rehabilitation protocols. Copy rights belong to original authors.

We now know the contrary to be true. Neuroscience has confirmed that our brains change throughout our lives, from birth to death. The brain's ability to rewire its circuitry and make adaptive changes, known as neuroplasticity, is why recovery after injury is possible. But much about neuroplasticity is not well understood. Our researchers are using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and real-time neurofeedback capabilities to conduct several novel pilot studies. Their goal is to correlate changes in the brain to changes in behavior and function. In this episode, Joan Banks-Smith, Creative Producer for Kessler Foundation, spoke with three researchers about their latest studies (see specific list below): Olga Boukrina, PhD, senior research scientist in the Center for Stroke Rehabilitation Research; Jeanne Zanca, PhD, senior research scientist in the Centers for Spinal Cord Injury and Outcomes and Assessment Research; and Glenn Wylie, DPhil, director of the Rocco Ortenzio Center for Neuroimaging at Kessler Foundation.

Abstract: Both imagery and execution of motor controls consist of interactions within a neuronal network, including frontal motor-related regions and posterior parietal regions. To reveal neural representation in the frontoparietal motor network, several approaches have been proposed: one is decoding of actions/modes related to motor control from the spatial pattern of brain activity; another is to estimate effective connectivity, which means a directed association between two brain regions within motor regions. However, a motor network consisting of multiple brain regions has not been investigated to illustrate network representation depending on motor imagery (MI) or motor execution (ME). Here, we attempted to differentiate the frontoparietal motor-related networks based on the effective connectivity in the MI and ME conditions. We developed a delayed sequential movement and imagery (dSMI) task to evoke brain activity associated with data under ME and MI in functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) scanning. We applied a linear non-Gaussian acyclic causal model to identify effective connectivity among the frontoparietal motor-related brain regions for each condition. We demonstrated higher effective connectivity from the contralateral dorsal premotor cortex (dPMC) to the primary motor cortex (M1) in ME than in MI. We mainly identified significant direct effects of dPMC and ventral premotor cortex (vPMC) to the parietal regions. In particular, connectivity from the dPMC to the superior parietal lobule (SPL) in the same hemisphere showed significant positive effects across all conditions. Instead, interlateral connectivities from vPMC to SPL showed significantly negative effects across all conditions. Finally, we found positive effects from A1 to M1 in the same hemisphere, such as the audio motor pathway. These results indicated that sources of motor command originated from d/vPMC and influenced M1 as achievements of ME and MI, and the parietal regions as integration of somatosensory and visual representation during finger tapping. In addition, sequential sounds may functionally facilitate temporal motor processes. Copy rights belong to original authors. Visit the link for more info

“Dance is a natural and universal form of expression, but classical ballet has a sophisticated aesthetic and complex technique”. Janet Karin discusses, in summary, how dancers learn, and how to make ballet technique natural. We look at the sensorimotor system and the creation of expressive movement, exploring how the historical development of ballet’s aesthetics and training methods influences the way dancers train today. This episode also covers motor control, movement cues, implicit and explicit learning, and movement beliefs. We also look into the recontextualization theory, and the impact on encouraging creativity and reducing perfectionistic cognitions through teaching methods.

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2020.09.21.291492v1?rss=1 Authors: Chen, Y. Y., Lambert, K., Madan, C. R., Singhal, A. Abstract: Motor imagery, or our ability to imagine movement without actually engaging in the action, has been an increasingly popular tool in rehabilitation settings. Understanding its neural underpinning is crucial for further development of new interventions. Using scalp electroencephalography (EEG), many studies have shown that mu oscillations (8-13 Hz), a variant of the alpha band recorded over the motor cortex electrodes, are involved in both the imagination and performance of movements; however, the exact relationship between mu oscillations and motor imagery is unclear. To further our understanding of the functional significance of mu oscillations and their role in both motor learning and motor performance, our study sought to investigate how suppression in mu oscillations varies during a motor imagery task according to both within subject imagery success and between subject imagery ability. We examined EEG activity while a large sample of participants performed an objective test of motor imagery ability (Test of Ability in Movement Imagery, TAMI). Results demonstrated that mu oscillatory activity significantly decreased during successful imagery trials as compared to unsuccessful ones. However, the extent of reduction in mu oscillations did not correlate with individual imagery ability. These results provide further support for the involvement of mu oscillations in motor behaviors and indicate that suppression in mu oscillations may serve as an important index for determining successful motor imagery performance within an individual. The processes that underlie this success are likely similar to those that underlie successful motor execution, given motor imagery's proposed functional equivalence to motor imagery.

Abstract: Brain decoding of motor imagery (MI) is crucial for the control of neuroprosthesis, and it provides insights into the underlying neural mechanisms. Walking consists of stance and swing phases, which are associated with different biomechanical and neural control features. However, previous studies on the decoding of the MI of walking focused on the classification of more simple information (e.g., walk and rest). Here, we investigated the feasibility of electroencephalogram (EEG) decoding of the two gait phases during the MI of walking and whether the combined use of MI and action observation (AO) would improve decoding accuracy. We demonstrated that the stance and swing phases could be decoded from EEGs during AO or MI alone. Additionally, the combined use of MI and AO improved decoding accuracy. The decoding models indicated that the improved decoding accuracy following the combined use of MI and AO was facilitated by the additional information resulting from the concurrent cortical activations by multiple regions associated with MI and AO. This study is the first to show that decoding the stance versus swing phases during MI is feasible. The current findings provide fundamental knowledge for neuroprosthetic design and gait rehabilitation, and they expand our understanding of the neural activity underlying AO, MI, and AO+MI of walking.

Imagery is a free and accessible form of mental practice that can be used to enhance performance, confidence, skills and more. In Episode 68: Motor Imagery, Betsy Coker EdD, explains what motor imagery is and how it works, as well as why, when, and how dancers use imagery. She talks about applying her research on imagery to her teaching practice, and suggests that perhaps some day, imagery could contribute to a very different, possibly more inclusive understanding of what dance is and who gets to do it.

Mirror, Mirror on the Wall Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) is a painful condition localized to a limb or body region, typically in response to trauma or surgery. Although several contributing mechanisms of CRPS have been described, the exact pathophysiology of the condition is not completely known. Graded motor imagery (GMI) is a comprehensive program aimed at sequentially activating motor cortical networks of the disordered limb to improve neural reorganization. GMI includes phases of progressive sensory-motor restructuring beginning with laterality training, guided imagery, and ultimately leading to mirror therapy. In this lecture, leading mechanisms for the development of CRPS will be discussed, along with the role of reorganization of the somatosensory cortex. In addition, treatment algorithms will be included along with medications, injections, and a thorough review of GMI and its outcomes. (Recorded at PAINWeek 2018)

Abstract: Motor imagery and neurofeedback have been proposed as motor training approaches, but their effects on the enhancement of motor performance are still controversial. This study aimed to enhance motor performance using a novel training protocol that combines motor imagery and neurofeedback. Seventeen participants were randomly assigned to the training or control group. The training group received real-time electroencephalography activity feedback relative to the motor imagery of the motor action. The control group reiterated the motor imagery of the intended motor action without feedback. The motor performance of the training group was enhanced significantly more than that of the control group. Subsequently, the proposed training protocol was tested in five elite male tennis players to investigate its applicability to sports activities. The motor performance was enhanced in three of these five professional tennis players. Using this novel training protocol, which combined motor imagery and neurofeedback training, we achieved enhanced motor performance. Copy rights belong to original authors.
