We compared the electroencephalographic changes during actual and imaginary movements with four limbs and classified optimally the responses during four-limb imagery. Evoked potentials in imagery exhibited lower and delayed peaks compared to actual-movement responses, but activations in the primary and the supplementary motor area were similar. Source-modeling analysis revealed that the motor and the parietal cortex were activated similarly, but several dipole sources were active in the frontal
