Motor Imagery in Asperger Syndrome: Testing Action Simulation by the Hand Laterality Task
Asperger syndrome (AS) is a neurodevelopmental condition within the Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) characterized by specific difficulties in social interaction, communication and behavioural control. In recent years, it has been suggested that ASD is related to a dysfunction of action simulation processes, but studies employing imitation or action observation tasks provided mixed results. Here...
متن کاملEffects of Hand Orientation on Motor Imagery - Event Related Potentials Suggest Kinesthetic Motor Imagery to Solve the Hand Laterality Judgment Task
Motor imagery (MI) refers to the process of imagining the execution of a specific motor action without actually producing an overt movement. Two forms of MI have been distinguished: visual MI and kinesthetic MI. To distinguish between these forms of MI we employed an event related potential (ERP) study to measure interference effects induced by hand orientation manipulations in a hand lateralit...
متن کاملMotor Imagery of Hand Actions
How motor maps are organized while imagining actions is an intensely debated issue. It is particularly unclear whether motor imagery relies on action-specific representations in premotor and posterior parietal cortices. This study tackled this issue by attempting to decode the content of motor imagery from spatial patterns of Blood Oxygen Level Dependent (BOLD) signals recorded in the frontopar...
متن کاملCortical Asymmetries during Hand Laterality Task Vary with Hand Laterality: A fMRI Study in 295 Participants
The aim of this study was to characterize, using fMRI, the functional asymmetries of hand laterality task (HLT) in a sample of 295 participants balanced for handedness. During HLT, participants have to decide whether the displayed picture of a hand represent a right or a left hand. Pictures of hands' back view were presented for 150 ms in the right or left hemifield. At the whole hemisphere lev...
متن کاملMy foot? Motor imagery-evoked pain, alternative strategies and implications for laterality recognition tasks.
Asking patients to determine the laterality (i.e. left or right) of images depicting parts of the body has been an intriguing development within the management of patients with Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS). Such Laterality Recognition Tasks (LRTs) are known to involve the mental rotation of one’s own limbs [1–3], activating areas of the brain involved in the execution of related limb m...
