PMID-18229536[0] Effect of mental imagery on the development of skilled motor actions.
- with trained subjects (performing something called Ura-Shuto-Uchi (Japanese? but the researchers are Italian)) showed a decrease in reaction time and EMG activity, as well as a increase in movement speed, muscle strength, power, and work. These results did not apply to untrained individuals. EEG also apparently changed vs. the untrained condition.
