Motor imagery training: Kinesthetic imagery strategy and inferior parietal fMRI activation
2017
Motor imagery (MI) is the mental simulation of action frequently used by professionals in different fields. However, with respect to performance, well‐controlled functional imaging studies on MI training are sparse. We investigated changes in fMRI representation going along with performance changes of a finger sequence (error and velocity) after MI training in 48 healthy young volunteers. Before training, we tested the vividness of kinesthetic and visual imagery. During tests, participants were instructed to move or to imagine moving the fingers of the right hand in a specific order. During MI training, participants repeatedly imagined the sequence for 15 min. Imaging analysis was performed…
Analysis of thermally induced flows in the laboratory by geoelectrical 3-D tomography
2010
[1] Many natural bodies as well as materials inside industrial installations, such as the Earth's mantle and the glass inside melting furnaces, exchange matter through convection. These processes result from differences in temperature, density, and chemical concentration. In this analysis, we focus on the visualization of thermally driven flows in the laboratory. In nature and in industrial installations, it is difficult to measure the temperature inside the object of interest directly. We benchmark a new DC-geoelectrical 3-D tomography method for temperature measurements that allows obtaining temperature values without influencing the flow pattern. For verification of the method, we use di…
