“…Music-evoked motor imagery was reported as being at least moderately vivid by the majority of PwP. Visual motor imagery was rated as more vivid than kinesthetic motor imagery, revealing a similar pattern to ratings of general (i.e., not music-evoked) motor imagery as measured by the KVIQ in PwP (Bek et al, 2022b;Readman et al, 2023) and in the general population (e.g., Malouin et al, 2007). This finding also provides some face validity for our novel rating of music-evoked motor imagery, suggesting that participants were able to rate their experiences of this type of imagery in a similar way to general motor imagery.…”

Parkinson's disease affects multiple aspects of movement, impacting significantly on everyday tasks. Music is used in interventions for people with Parkinson's, either to pace movements, or as an integral element of activities such as dance. This study explored self-reported vividness of two forms of imagery – motor imagery evoked by music and auditory (including musical) imagery – in people with Parkinson's, and whether and how they use these types of imagery in everyday life. Participants ( N = 199) completed: (i) vividness ratings of visual and kinesthetic music-evoked motor imagery, (ii) vividness ratings of auditory imagery, and (iii) ratings and open questions about their everyday use of these types of imagery. While most participants reported experiencing music-evoked motor imagery (with more vivid visual than kinesthetic motor imagery), <20% reported actively using music to support motor imagery in daily activities. In contrast, participants reported a broad range of contexts and uses for musical imagery (imagined music), from supporting movement (e.g., walking or exercise) to emotion regulation, and concentration. Correlational analyses associated vividness of music-evoked motor imagery with an urge to dance and musical training, while the use of musical imagery was associated with singing ability. A minority of participants reported not experiencing either motor or musical imagery, suggesting that interventions based on imagery may not be suitable for all. Nonetheless, even participants with more severe motor symptoms reported experiencing and using both types of imagery, indicating promise for their strategic use at different stages of Parkinson's. Therefore, musical and motor imagery have the potential to support rehabilitation strategies for Parkinson's, either separately or in combination.

“…In contrast, other studies have found differences in these tasks in people with PD, secondary to alterations in fronto-striatal motor systems and parietal lobes, which are involved in integrating visuospatial information and imagery [15]. Also, factors such as the degree of severity of left side bradykinesia have been found to correlate with the vividness of MI, suggesting that specific motor symptoms of PD may alter these abilities [16].…”

“…The present study did not find moderate or strong correlations between the ability to create MI and upper limb motor function, gait and balance, suggesting that people with PD retain movement representation, but execution components hinder functionality. Also, it is worth mentioning that there are large individual differences in MI even in the general population and these might also explain a null effect at this point, suggesting that MI might not be suitable for people unable to create vivid images [16,48].…”

Motor imagery (MI) has been shown to be effective for the acquisition of motor skills; however, it is still unknown whether similar benefits can be achieved in neurological patients. Previous findings of differences in MI ability between people with Parkinson’s disease (PwPD) and healthy controls (HCs) are mixed. This study examined differences in the ability to both create and maintain MI as well as investigating the relationship between the ability to create and maintain MI and motor function, independence and quality of life (QoL). A case–control study was conducted (31 PwPD and 31 HCs), collecting gender, age, dominance, socio-demographic data, duration and impact of the disease. MI intensity (MIQ-RS and KVIQ-34) and temporal accuracy of MI (imagined box and block test [iBBT], imagined timed stand and walk test [iTUG]) were assessed. Functional and clinical assessments included upper limb motor function, balance, gait, independence in activities of daily living and quality of life measures. Statistically significant differences in temporal accuracy were observed and partial and weak relationships were revealed between MI measures and functioning, independence and QoL. PwPD retain the ability to create MI, indicating the suitability of MI in this population. Temporal accuracy might be altered as a reflection of bradykinesia on the mentally simulated actions.

“…The earliest signs of PD include tremors, stiffness, and slow movement. As the disease progresses, individuals may experience difficulty with balance, coordination, and fine motor skills [119]. In addition to motor symptoms, PD can cause non-motor symptoms such as depression, anxiety, and sleep disturbances.…”

Neuroimaging has revolutionized our understanding of brain function and has become an essential tool for researchers studying neurological disorders. Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and electroencephalography (EEG) are two widely used neuroimaging techniques to review changes in brain activity. fMRI is a noninvasive technique that uses magnetic fields and radio waves to produce detailed brain images. An EEG is a noninvasive technique that records the brain’s electrical activity through electrodes placed on the scalp. This review overviews recent developments in noninvasive functional neuroimaging methods, including fMRI and EEG. Recent advances in fMRI technology, its application to studying brain function, and the impact of neuroimaging techniques on neuroscience research are discussed. Advances in EEG technology and its applications to analyzing brain function and neural oscillations are also highlighted. In addition, advanced courses in neuroimaging, such as diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and transcranial electrical stimulation (TES), are described, along with their role in studying brain connectivity, white matter tracts, and potential treatments for schizophrenia and chronic pain. Application. The review concludes by examining neuroimaging studies of neurodevelopmental and neurological disorders such as autism spectrum disorder (ASD), attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), Alzheimer’s disease (AD), and Parkinson’s disease (PD). We also described the role of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) in ASD, ADHD, AD, and PD. Neuroimaging techniques have significantly advanced our understanding of brain function and provided essential insights into neurological disorders. However, further research into noninvasive treatments such as EEG, MRI, and TES is necessary to continue to develop new diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for neurological disorders.
