The purpose of this study was to review of mechanism and application methodology about mental practice. The mental practice is symbolic rehearsal of physical activity in the absence of any gross muscular movements. Human have the ability to generate mental correlates of perceptual and motor events without any triggering external stimulus, a function known as imagery, Practice produces both internal and external sensory consequences which are thought to be essential for learning to occur, It is for this reason that mental practice, rehearsal of skill in imagination rather than by overt physical activity, has intrigued theorists, especially those interested in cognitive process. Several studies in sport psychology have shown that mental practice can be effective in optimizing the execution of movements in athletes and help novice learner in the incremental acquisition of new skilled behaviors. There are many theories of mental practice for explaining the positive effect In skill learning and performance. Most tenable theories are symbolic learning theory, psyconeuromuscular theory, Paivio's theory, regional cerebral blood flow theory, motivation theory, modeling theory, mental and muscle movement nodes theory, insight theory, selective attention theory, and attention-arousal set theory etc.. The factors for influencing to effects of mental practice are application form, application period, time for length of the mental practice, number of repetition, existence of physical practice.

Background: The body schema, which is constantly updated using somatosensory information, enables accurate movement. Since pain is reported as a possible source to alter the body schema, the left right judgement test (LRJT) has been widely used in the pain rehabilitation. However, there was a lack of consistency in the effect of the pain on the LRJT results, and for the effect of the LRJT as a part of intervention programs for pain patients. The deeper understand of the LRJT is necessary for better reproducibility, and to expand the therapeutic applications of the LRJT in the pain and musculoskeletal rehabilitation. Objects: This literature review aimed to understand the LRJT and to study the potential of the LRJT for therapeutic applications. Methods: The PubMed database was searched for studies relevant to LRJT. To establish the query set, the term was regarded from various perspectives. Results: The selected studies were classified into three categories: LRJT development, factors influencing LRJT, and therapeutic applications. Conclusion: Left right judgement test is the evaluation tool for the integrity of body schema as well as a tool for implicit motor imagery. Pain, proprioception, and other factors influence the performance of the LRJT.

A brain-computer interface or BCI provides an alternative method for acting on the world. Brain signals can be recorded from the electrical activity along the scalp using an electrode cap. By analyzing the EEG, it is possible to determine whether a person is thinking about his/her hand or foot movement and this information can be transferred to a machine and then translated into commands. However, we do not know which information relates to motor imagery and which channel is good for extracting features. A general approach is to use all electronic channels to analyze the EEG signals, but this causes many problems, such as overfitting and problems removing noisy and artificial signals. To overcome these problems, in this paper we used a new optimization method called the Fruit Fly optimization algorithm (FOA) to select the best channels and then combine them with CSP method to extract features to improve the classification accuracy by linear discriminant analysis. We also used particle swarm optimization (PSO) and a genetic algorithm (GA) to select the optimal EEG channel and compared the performance with that of the FOA algorithm. The results show that for some subjects, the FOA algorithm is a better method for selecting the optimal EEG channel in a short time.

본 논문은 brain-computer interface (BCI)를 통해 움직임 상상 시 측정된 뇌-활동전위신호(EEG)에 내포된 행동의도의 패턴을 보다 정확하게 분류하기 위한 최적 EEG 채널 선택 기법을 제안한다. 기존의 EEG 측정실험에서는 실험 설계자에 의해 대뇌 기능적 피질 분류를 이용하여 인위적으로 선별된 채널을 활용하거나 측정기기가 수용 가능한 전체 채널을 사용해왔으며, 일정 수준의 패턴분류 정확도를 얻을 수 있었지만 다수의 채널로 인해 Common Spatial Pattern (CSP) 등의 패턴특징 추출 시 overfit 및 계산 복잡도 증가의 문제가 발생되었다. 이를 극복하기 위하여 방안으로 본 논문에서는 binary particle swarm optimization (BPSO)을 기반으로 다수의 채널 중 최적 채널을 자동으로 선택하고, 각각의 채널에 대한 impact factor를 부여함으로써 중요 채널 부근의 채널들에 가중치를 부여하는 선택방법을 제안하였으며, Support Vector Machine (SVM)을 이용하여 다수의 채널을 사용 하였을 때의 정확도와 channel impact factor를 고려한 BPSO를 적용시켰을 때의 정확도를 비교, 분석하였다.
