Recent theoretical and empirical work in cognitive science and neuroscience is brought into
contact with the concept of the flow experience. After a brief exposition of brain function, the …

Motor imagery practice is a current trend, but there is a need for a systematic integration of
neuroscientific advances in the field. In this review, we describe the technique of motor …

Meditation refers to a family of mental training practices that are designed to familiarize the
practitioner with specific types of mental processes. One of the most basic forms of …

The hypothesis that motor imagery and actual movement involve overlapping neural
structures in the central nervous system is supported by multiple lines of evidence. The aim …

Extraordinary motor skills required for expert athletic or music performance require
longstanding and intensive practice leading to two critical skills, a level of maximal …

There is now compelling evidence that motor imagery (MI) and actual movement share
common neural substrate. However, the question of how MI inhibits the transmission of …

The traditional view on the core functions of the cerebellum consists of the regulation of
motor coordination, balance and motor speech. However, during the past decades results …

Functional neuroimaging methods hold promise for the identification of cognitive function
and communication capacity in some severely brain-injured patients who may not retain …

Skill learning is the improvement in perceptual, cognitive, or motor performance following
practice. Expert performance levels can be achieved with well-organized knowledge, using …

Subjective judgments in software engineering tasks are of critical importance but can be
difficult to study with conventional means. Medical imaging techniques hold the promise of …
