“…Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) have been used extensively to study the neural mechanisms underlying the RHI. Applying a single TMS pulse to primary motor cortex (M1), the resulting motor-evoked potentials (MEPs) recorded from a target muscle can be used as a readout of corticospinal excitability at rest ( Bestmann et al, 2015 , Rossini, 2015 ), during perceptual ( Castro et al, 2021 , Pellegrino et al, 2022 ) and motor tasks ( Castro et al, 2021 , Pascual-Leone et al, 1995 ). The involvement of corticospinal neurons is thought to be mostly indirect, via intracortical and cortico-cortical connections, depending on the coil orientation and stimulation intensity ( Di Lazzaro et al, 2012 ).…”

“…Sonification consists in translating certain physical quantity (e.g. force applied by a pencil on a surface) into a sound whose intensity or frequency can vary accordingly to the considered parameter 130 – 132 . Despite never being tested in a proper SRL protocol, sonification was shown to improve motor learning during a simple key pressing task 131 – 134 , and recalibrated perception of body size, such as height 135 and finger length 136 .…”

In human movement augmentation, the number of controlled degrees of freedom could be enhanced by the simultaneous and independent use of supernumerary robotic limbs (SRL) and natural ones. However, this poses several challenges, that could be mitigated by encoding and relaying the SRL status. Here, we review the impact of supplementary sensory feedback on the control and embodiment of SRLs. We classify the main feedback features and analyse how they improve control performance. We report the feasibility of pushing body representation beyond natural human morphology and suggest that gradual SRL embodiment could make multisensory incongruencies less disruptive. We also highlight shared computational bases between SRL motor control and embodiment and suggest contextualizing them within the same theoretical framework. Finally, we argue that a shift towards long term experimental paradigms is necessary for successfully integrating motor control and embodiment.

“…They consistently showed an increased corticospinal excitability during combined AO and MI compared to the baseline (e.g., Vogt et al, 2013 ; Bruton et al, 2020 ). Studies with a similar protocol that aim to contrast combined AO and MI against AO or MI alone have reported either increased ( Mouthon et al, 2016 ; Wright et al, 2016 ) or similar ( Castro et al, 2021 ) corticospinal activity compared to combined AO and MI. The meta-analysis ( Chye et al, 2022 ) revealed that, compared to AO and MI, AO had a medium positive effect size on MEP amplitudes.…”

Studies showed that motor expertise was found to induce improvement in language processing. Grounded and situated approaches attributed this effect to an underlying automatic simulation of the motor experience elicited by action words, similar to motor imagery (MI), and suggest shared representations of action conceptualization. Interestingly, recent results also suggest that the mental simulation of action by MI training induces motor-system modifications and improves motor performance. Consequently, we hypothesize that, since MI training can induce motor-system modifications, it could be used to reinforce the functional connections between motor and language system, and could thus lead to improved language performance. Here, we explore these potential interactions by reviewing recent fundamental and clinical literature in the action-language and MI domains. We suggested that exploiting the link between action language and MI could open new avenues for complementary language improvement programs. We summarize the current literature to evaluate the rationale behind this novel training and to explore the mechanisms underlying MI and its impact on language performance.
