Understand and optimize mental strategies in motor training

运动想象是对动作的心理模拟。虽然它可以帮助新手和专家的决策和技能改进，但这种改进的个体间差异降低了更广泛层面的潜在益处。在过去的二十年里，运动想象背后的神经资源已经被确定，但对相对于任务（强度，目标，顺序等）引起最大改善的最佳策略知之甚少。人的能力（专长）。本研究拟运用运动科学与脑影像学的方法，探讨心理训练的效果。为此，我们的目标是评估的主要决定因素，诱导学习与心理训练和预测运动增益与神经生理学和心理学数据。在认知心理学，运动科学和脑成像的相互作用中，我们打算收集数据，使我们能够制定具体的指导，以优化图像训练，以提高不同的表现。

Motor imagery is the mental simulation of action. Although it can assist in decision-making and skill improvement for novice and experts, the inter-individual variability of such improvement lowers the potential benefits at a broader level. The neural resources underlying motor imagery have been identified in the last two decades, but little is known about the optimal strategy that induces maximal improvement relative to the task (strength, aiming, sequence, etc.) and to the persons ability (expertise). In the current project, we intend to use methods of sport science and brain imaging to investigate the effectiveness of mental training. To this end, we aim to assess the prime determinants that induce learning with mental training and to predict motor gain with neurophysiological and psychological data. In an interaction of cognitive psychology, sport science and brain imaging, we intend to gather data that will enable us to formulate specific instructions for optimizing imagery training for different performance improvements.
