New paper🚨 Exploring motor #imagery in relation to #sports, #music, & #dance ⚽🏌🏻♀️🎸🕺🏻 @ucdbodylab @UCDPsychology @UofTKPE
https://t.co/m3bcnZFzcl Implicit motor imagery was influenced by experience in sports & music; explicit imagery may be more influenced by formal training

Great work @jude_bek ! Interesting finding that small unintended moments increase after tDCS of supplementary motor area. Maybe SMA is involved in suppressing over movement during imagery. Read more to find out.
❕New preprint❕with @DrMichaelWXY @DrTimWelsh: tDCS over the supplementary motor area led to an increase in incidental movements during motor imagery ⚡️🧠🤔👆

Thanks @DrMichaelWXY for all your leadership and work on this project. So much good stuff in this paper about movement in AR and VR.
New paper alert 🚨 https://t.co/eYKWK8uUFc Using visual illusion, we showed that mixed reality technologies, such as VR and AR, alters motor planning and control. This is the last but most critical piece from a series of three studies from my work with @DrTimWelsh @UofTKPE
