The neurophysiological foundations of mental and motor imagery

Mental imagery is the ability to form perceptual-like representations of objects or events on the basis of information stored in memory. This book is a state-of-the-art review of the field of mental imagery, showing its application in the fields of rehabilitation, learning, and sport, and exploring the neural bases of mental and motor imagery.
