Imagined and actual arm movements have similar durations when performed under different conditions of direction and mass.

Abstract Extract:
Several experiments have suggested that similar physiological substrates are involved in movement execution and motor imagery, and that the same laws of movement control apply to both processes. Using a mental chronometry paradigm, we examined the ... (Full abstract text below)
