Source: Laboratories of Jonas T. Kaplan and Sarah I. Gimbel—University of Southern California Imagine the sound of a bell ringing. What is happening in the brain when we conjure up a sound like this in the "mind's ear?" There is growing evidence that the brain uses the same mechanisms for imagination that it uses for perception.1 For example, when imagining visual images, the visual cortex becomes activated, and when imagining sounds, the auditory cortex is engaged. However, to what extent are...

We present a protocol of personalized script-driven trauma-related imagery and clinical assessments within a comparison design for investigating peritraumatic dissociation (PD), psychophysiological reactions, i.e. heart rate (HR) and skin conductance (SC), and psychological features of often severely traumatized individuals with borderline personality disorder (BPD).
FAQs
Imagined movement changes activity in sensorimotor rhythms even when the body remains still. EEG captures these brain-state changes while the user mentally rehearses actions such as moving a hand, foot, or tongue. The resulting neural patterns provide the signal that the system analyzes, allowing mental activity to become usable control information without requiring visible movement.
Mu and beta activity are especially important because motor imagery alters these sensorimotor rhythms. EEG recording makes those changes available for analysis, while the imagined body part provides the mental task associated with each brain pattern. Examining these rhythm changes helps a system distinguish the neural states needed to generate different external commands.
Machine-learning algorithms classify the EEG patterns produced during different imagined movements. After identifying the relevant signal patterns, the system can perform that classification in real time and translate the result into a command. This processing step connects changing sensorimotor activity with actions such as moving a cursor, controlling a robotic limb, or operating another external device.
Motor imagery control does not depend on an overt muscle action, so the command originates from the associated brain activity rather than visible movement. That distinction lets researchers study and use attempted or imagined actions through EEG alone. It also supports applications in which a user must communicate or control equipment without directly moving the corresponding body part.
A typical interaction records EEG while the user imagines a specified movement, such as moving a hand, foot, or tongue. The system then analyzes the resulting sensorimotor activity, applies machine-learning classification, and produces a real-time command for an external device. The device response supplies the practical output of the neural control process.
Motor imagery BCI systems can provide control signals for robotic limbs, cursors, wheelchairs, and communication tools. In stroke rehabilitation, device feedback links imagined or attempted movement with an observable response, creating a connection between the user's neural activity and the device outcome. This makes the approach relevant both to assistive technology and to neuroscience research on motor-related brain activity.
