Summary:The physiological mechanisms underlying the process of motor imagery have significant similarities with the mechanisms of motor control, and this can be used for the rehabilitation of patients with movement disorders. In patients with severe paresis, motor imagery may be the only method producing movement recovery. Over the last decade, this has led to increasing interest in studies of the function of motor imagery. Brain–computer interface technologies can be used monitor training with imaginary movements.
