Seeing an agent perform an action typically triggers a motor simulation of that action in the
observer's Mirror Neuron System (MNS). Over the past few years, it has become increasingly …

Many human behaviours and pathologies have been attributed to the putative mirror neuron
system, a neural system that is active during both the observation and execution of actions …

Neurophysiological and imaging studies have shown that seeing the actions of other
individuals brings about the vicarious activation of motor regions involved in performing the …

Performing online complementary motor adjustments is quintessential to joint actions since it
allows interacting people to coordinate efficiently and achieve a common goal. We sought to …

Several neurophysiologic and neuroimaging studies suggested that motor and perceptual
systems are tightly linked along a continuum rather than providing segregated mechanisms …

Experience with a sensorimotor task, such as practicing a piano piece, leads to strong
coupling of sensory (visual or auditory) and motor cortices. Here we review behavioral and …

Music ensembles are an ideal test-bed for quantitative analysis of social interaction. Music is
an inherently social activity, and music ensembles offer a broad variety of scenarios which …

Detecting errors in one's own actions, and in the actions of others, is a crucial ability for
adaptable and flexible behavior. Studies show that specific EEG signatures underpin the …

Joint actions require the integration of simultaneous self-and other-related behaviour. Here,
we investigated whether this function is underpinned by motor simulation, that is the capacity …

Embodied theories of cognition consider many aspects of language and other cognitive
domains as the result of sensory and motor processes. In this view, the appraisal and the …
