A virtual reality-based system integrated with fmri to study neural mechanisms of action observation-execution
A virtual reality-based system integrated with fmri to study neural mechanisms of action observation-execution: A proof of concept study. Restor Neurol Neurosci. 2009;27(3):209-23 Authors: Adamovich SV, August K, Merians A, Tunik E Purpose: Emerging evidence shows that interactive virtual environments (VEs) may be a promising tool for studying sensorimotor processes and for rehabilitation. However, the potential of VEs to recruit action observation-execution neural networks is largely unknown. For the first time, a functional MRI-compatible virtual reality system (VR) has been...
