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 …

Mu suppression has been proposed as a signature of the activity of the human mirror neuron
system (MNS). However the mu frequency band (8–13 Hz) overlaps with the alpha …

There is much interest in the claim that dysfunction of the mirror neuron system in individuals
with autism spectrum condition causes difficulties in social interaction and communication …

Mu suppression studies have been widely used to infer the activity of the human mirror
neuron system (MNS) in a number of processes, ranging from action understanding …

The role of the motor system in the perception of visual art remains to be better understood.
Earlier studies on the visual perception of abstract art (from Gestalt theory, as in Arnheim …

Studying human infants will increase our understanding of the nature, origins and function of
neural mirroring mechanisms. Human infants are prolific imitators. Infant imitation indicates …

There is strong evidence that neonates imitate previously unseen behaviours. These
behaviours are predominantly used in social interactions, demonstrating neonates' ability …
