Motor Imagery Training Improves Reaction Time in Mouse Aiming Task

Motor imagery training is commonly used for sport and neurorehabilitation, improving human motor performance. In our previous works we have shown that motor imagery can be an effective way to reach higher performance in some sensorimotor tasks, technically related to esports. In this work reaction time of 10 participants was measured in the mouse aim task before and after motor imagery training session, while EEG was recorded. Statistically significant decrease in reaction time between before and after motor imagery training was obtained, while stable contralateral central ERD patterns during motor imagery were presented. A high correlation between baseline reactions’ time of participants and their levels of progress was observed. We believe that motor imagery training associated with sensorimotor rhythms desynchronization in EEG has great potential for esports training programs.
