New Spotlight / New ResearchAction Imagery and Observation in Neurorehabilitation for Parkinson's Disease (ACTION-PD): Development of a User-Informed Home Training Intervention to Improve Functional Hand Movements
Bek et al. | Parkinson’s Disease
This study demonstrated that a user-informed, home-based AO+MI programme delivered via a tablet app was feasible, well accepted by people with Parkinson's disease, and showed encouraging signs that home-based mental practice interventions can be successfully implemented.

EEG and behavioural correlates of different forms of motor imagery during action observation in rhythmical actions
Eaves et al. | Brain and Cognition
This study showed that different forms of combined action observation and motor imagery (AO+MI) produce distinct behavioural and neurophysiological effects, providing some of the first neurophysiological evidence that different dual action simulation states can be distinguished experimentally.

Structural and Functional Features Characterising the Brains of Individuals with Higher Controllability of Motor Imagery
Furuta, Morita, Miura & Naito | Scientific Reports
People with better motor imagery ability have stronger structural and functional connections within a frontoparietal brain network, suggesting that successful motor imagery depends more on efficient communication between brain regions than on activity within any single region.
