Enhancing the quality of kinesthetic motor imagery for complex motor skills through simulated muscle activation color visualization: Evidence from time-frequency and functional con... by Xiaogang Ma, Bing Shi

“…Conversely, alpha event-related synchronization (ERS) in the parietal and occipital regions, as well as ERS in the frontal, central, and temporal regions, were significantly lower in the experimental group compared to the control group. The source-functional connectivity results revealed that the primary differences between the experimental and control groups were concentrated between the left V1 and right V1, as well as among the posterior parietal cortex (PPC), dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC), and primary motor cortex (M1). …”
