Objective. To evaluate the concurrent and training effects of action observation (AO) and
action execution with mirror visual feedback (MVF) on the activation of the mirror neuron …

Ten years ago, Perspectives in Psychological Science published the Mirror Neuron Forum,
in which authors debated the role of mirror neurons in action understanding, speech …

Action monitoring is crucial to the successful execution of an action and understanding the
actions of others. It is often impaired due to brain lesions, in particular after stroke. This …

Motor imagery (MI) is a mental practice that reproduces the visual-and/or kinesthetic-
modality brain activations accompanying movement. It is a useful rehabilitation technique as …

Objective Mu and beta EEG oscillations show typical desynchronization patterns during
movement. The aim of the current study was to assess whether in sub-acute stroke patients …

Humans are highly social beings that interact with each other on a daily basis. In these
complex interactions, we get along by being able to identify others' actions and infer their …

Event-related desynchronization (ERD), as a proxy for mirror neuron activity, has been used
as a neurophysiological marker for motor execution after mirror visual feedback (MVF) …

Researchers and clinicians have long used meaningful intransitive (ie, not tool-related; MFI)
gestures to assess apraxia—a complex and frequent motor-cognitive disorder …

Empathy is a critical aspect of social behavior, and impairment in empathic processing is
linked to hindered social interactions and several disorders. Despite much interest in this …

Background Mirror visual feedback (MVF) has been widely used in neurological
rehabilitation. Due to the potential gain effect of the MVF combination therapy, the related …
