Article Abstract
Mirror visual feedback (MVF) intervention is an adjunctive approach for motor recovery after stroke. It has been hypothesized that MVF can increase visual perception, motor imagery, and attention of/to the hands. However, neuroimaging evidence for this hypothesis is still lacking. In this study, we used a hand mental rotation task and event-related potential (ERP) analysis to explore the effect of MVF intervention on visual perception, motor preparation, and motor imagery of hands. We recruited 46 patients and randomly divided them into a mirror visual feedback group (MG) and a conventional intervention group (CG). By comparing ERP amplitude between the two groups and between before and after the intervention, we found that the N200 component, which was considered to be related to motor preparation, was significantly less negative in the affected hemisphere than that in the unaffected counterpart. After intervention, the N200 amplitude became more negative, reflecting a recovery of motor preparation. Specifically, MG showed a significant effect on the N200 for the hand pictures at large orientations, while the CG showed an effect mainly for the upright hand stimuli. The results suggested an improvement of preparation for motor imagery of complex and precise hand movements after MVF intervention.Clinical Relevance- This study might be helpful for understanding the neural mechanisms of MVF which can help stroke patients regain upper extremity function.

Since 2022, Visual Generative AI (vGenAI) tools have experienced rapid adoption and garnered widespread acclaim for their ability to produce high-quality images with convincing photorealistic representations. These technologies mirror society's prevailing visual politics in a mediated form, and actively contribute to the perpetuation of deeply ingrained assumptions, categories, values, and aesthetic representations. In this paper, we critically analyze Stable Diffusion (SD), a widely used open-source vGenAI tool, through visual and intersectional analysis.

Motion in visual images can be described in terms of changes in phases of Fourier components (phase cues), or displacements in the position of specific features (position cues) over time. Human observers are able to perceive motion using both cues, where perceived direction of motion is biased in favour of phase cues at higher spatial and temporal frequencies, and in favour of position cues at lower spatial and temporal frequencies. This suggests the existence of separable mechanisms for processing phase and position cues.

Background: Injury risk assessments for evaluating competition readiness could be improved by incorporating dual task testing, including decision-making and/or divided attention components, to more closely mirror a competition-like environment.
Purpose/hypothesis: The purpose was to identify the most disruptive (or biomechanically demanding) cognitive load to add to a series of change-of-direction tasks. It was hypothesized that a visual motor response component (unanticipated change in direction) would elicit the greatest biomechanical risk factors across tasks and that changes would be consistent between limbs.

Classical social cognitive conceptions suppose that the existence of common representations between agents constitutes the basis that represents the world from others' perspectives. Alternatively, recent contributions support that the ability to distinguish self- from other's representation would rather be at the origins of social inferences abilities. In the present study we compared the effects of two types of imitation training: mirror imitation (for which gesture could be represented in common referential) and anatomically congruent imitation (which requires not only a representation of the gesture of the model but also distinguishing between one's own and others' representations).

Second-language (L2) written processing has often been linked to cognitive disfluency, resembling fluency disruptions caused by perceptual challenges, such as visual degradation. This study used Virtual Reality to investigate whether cognitive disfluency in L2 mirrors perceptual disfluency by simulating adverse weather conditions (sunny vs. rainy) and applying visual masking.
