Synchronous action observation and motor imagery may not always represent the optimal form of action simulation: A commentary on Eaves et al. (2022)
(Eaves et al., Psychological Research Psychologische Forschung, 2022) summary review, showing positive behavioural effects of AOMI interventions, is a welcome addition to the field.
