 This study examined the effects of motor imagery, MI, and action observation, AO, on sensor-motor activation patterns in healthy adults and stroke patients. It was found that the sensor-motor activation patterns differed between the two groups, with those who had weaker MI-induced EEG features achieving stronger sensor-motor activations in AO than those with stronger MI-induced EEG features. Additionally, the group with stronger MI-induced EEG features achieved stronger sensor-motor activations in the MI-AO condition than those with weaker MI-induced EEG features. This suggests that the sensor-motor activation patterns are related to individual differences in EEG features and may be used to guide stroke patients towards more effective motor feedback training.
