Aspects of the disclosure include methods and apparatuses for pre-action gaming. For example, in an aspect, a method is presented for constructing a user-controllable image, comprising obtaining anatomical and physiological data associated with a body, storing the anatomical and physiological data in a database; and creating the user-controllable image based on the stored anatomical and physiological data, wherein the user-controllable image is configurable to a user, wherein at least a moveable portion of the user-controllable image is constructed to move based on input from a user, and wherein the user-controllable image is constructed so as to enable pre-action training the user. As such, victims of traumatic brain injury or other neurological setbacks may pre-train their nervous system for use of one or more injured body parts.
