PD neurofeedback

PD-neurofeedback subjects will practice motor imagery in the MRI scanner and receive neurofeedback on their performance. There will be a total of 10-12 neurofeedback sessions on two separate days. Subjects will continue practicing motor imagery at home every day throughout the study period for 4-6 weeks.

OTHER

PD control

PD-control subjects will practice visual imagery (e.g., of scenery, objects, etc., but not of movement) in the MRI scanner and will not receive neurofeedback on their performance. Subjects will continue practicing visual imagery at home every day throughout the study period for 4-6 weeks.
