Motor imagery beyond the motor repertoire: Activity in the primary visual cortex during kinesthetic motor imagery of difficult whole body movements

Highlights • We measured brain activity during motor imagery of difficult whole-body movements. • The vividness of kinesthetic motor imagery was assessed by questionnaire. • Activity in visual area was negatively correlated with vividness of motor imagery.
