Picture this! Suggested instructions for guiding the Neuroscience of action imagery: A commentary on Krüger et al. (2022)

Abstract

Our commentary expands the multisensory and modulating factors proposed by Kruger et al.’s (2023) internal models of action imagery and sensory crossovers. We will discuss the essence of imagery experiences as conceptual intersections among sensory, movement and affective properties that require further neuro-anatomical-contextual mapping to better understand the practical application of imagery. Accordingly, we will propose alternative ideas of daisy-chaining and motor imagery systems. The role of imagery speed, and other properties of movement for refining movement and self-regulation will be considered along with sex as a modulating factor in intra-individual abilities to image movement.
