Kinesthetic but not visual imagery assists in normalizing the CNV in Parkinson's disease. Clin Neurophysiol. 2006 Oct;117(10):2308-14 Authors: Lim VK, Polych MA, Holländer A, Byblow WD, Kirk IJ, Hamm JP OBJECTIVE: This study investigated whether kinesthetic and/or visual imagery could alter the contingent negative variation (CNV) for patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). METHODS: The CNV was recorded in six patients with PD and seven controls before and after a 10min block of imagery. There were two types of imagery employed: kinesthetic and visual, which were evaluated on...

Movement-specific enhancement of corticospinal excitability at subthreshold levels during motor imagery. Exp Brain Res. 2006 Dec 8; Authors: Li S This study examined modulation of corticospinal excitability during both actual and imagined movements. Seven young healthy subjects performed actual (3-50% maximal voluntary contractions) and imagined index finger force production, and...
