Visualization techniques from practises such as Meditation and Yoga Nidra used as strategies and interventions such as in Motor Imagery (MI) or mental rehearsal provide contrasting reports on the level of effectiveness of MI in learning new motor skills.
There is a consensus that MI can lead to improvement in performance used in combination with physical practise because it shares similar neural mechanisms with cortical preparatory processes used in motor control.
Functional brain imaging studies indicate several cortical and sub-cortical areas active during actual motor performance are also active during imagination or mental rehearsal of the movements.
