Abstract: Motor simulation theory proposes a functional equivalence between motor execution (ME) and its simulation, suggesting that motor imagery (MI) is the self-intentioned simulation of one's actions. This study used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) with multivoxel pattern analysis to test whether the direction of hand movement is represented with a similar neural code between ME and MI. In our study, participants used their right hand to move an on-screen cursor in the left-right direction with a joystick or imagined the same movement without execution. The results indicated that the left-right direction as well as their modality (ME or MI) could be decoded significantly above the chance level in the presupplementary motor area (pre-SMA) and primary visual cortex (V1). Next, we used activation patterns of ME as inputs to the decoder to predict hand move di-rections in MI sessions and found a significantly higher-than-chance accuracy only in V1, not in pre-SMA. Moreover, the representational similarity analysis showed similar activation patterns for the same directions between ME and MI in V1 but not in pre-SMA. This study's finding indicates distinct spatial activation patterns for movement directions between ME and MI in pre-SMA.
