Abstract
The aim was to investigate whether mental imagery is sufficient to acquire new action-sounds. We showed that after minutes of imagining a frequency modulation in association with specific postural changes, hearing a frequency-modulated sound impairs postural control. These findings advance our understanding of the relationship between mental imagery and perception.
