Abstract Several models propose Motor Imagery, Action Observation, and Movement
Execution recruit the same brain regions. There is, however, no quantitative synthesis of the …

Recent research has linked bodily self-consciousness to the processing and integration of
multisensory bodily signals in temporoparietal, premotor, posterior parietal and extrastriate …

A fundamental issue in cognitive neuroscience is how the brain encodes others' actions and
intentions. In recent years, a potential advance in our knowledge on this issue is the …

This article argues that mirror neurons originate in sensorimotor associative learning and
therefore a new approach is needed to investigate their functions. Mirror neurons were …

Our understanding of the functions of motor system evolved remarkably in the last 20 years.
This is the consequence not only of an increase in the amount of data on this system but …

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 …

The discovery of mirror neurons in macaque frontal cortex has sparked a resurgence of
interest in motor/embodied theories of cognition. This critical review examines the evidence …

The use of non-invasive brain stimulation is widespread in studies of human cognitive
neuroscience. This has led to some genuine advances in understanding perception and …

Many neuroimaging studies of the mirror neuron system (MNS) examine if certain voxels in
the brain are shared between action observation and execution (shared voxels, sVx) …

The human body, like the human face, is a rich source of socially relevant information about
other individuals. Evidence from studies of both humans and non-human primates points to …
