P 20 fMRI-associations with performance increase by mental imagery training of finger sequence

Motor imagery (MI) is the mental simulation of action frequently used by professionals in different fields. The knowledge about changes in functional representation of motor patterns trained with mental imagery is sparse. In addition, we do not know how changes in functional representation during imagery training are associated with preciseness of imagined performance. We therefore intended to investigate changes in functional representation going along with performance changes (error, velocity) during a highly controlled (for intensity and temporal accuracy) mental imagery training (finger sequence performance) in 51 healthy young volunteers.
