Since more than a century, neuropsychological models have assumed that the left inferior
parietal cortex is central to tool use by storing manipulation knowledge (the manipulation …

Abstract Kinesthetic Motor Imagery (KMI) is an important technique to acquire and refine
motor skills. KMI is widely used by professional athletes as an effective way to improve motor …

Vittorio Gallese (VG). To answer this question, we should first clarify how motor acts and
actions are mapped within the cortical motor system and what the notion ofaction …

Since the discovery of mirror neurons in the 1990s, many neuroimaging studies have
tackled the issue of action observation with the aim of unravelling a putative homolog human …

When watching another person's actions, a network of sensorimotor brain regions,
collectively termed the action observation network (AON), is engaged. Previous research …

Previous studies have demonstrated that when we observe somebody else executing an
action many areas of our own motor systems are active. It has been argued that these motor …

We determined the neural correlates of word generation and tool use pantomiming in
healthy subjects with typical (n= 10) or atypical (n= 10) language dominance to investigate …

In the present eye-tracking study, we analysed the visuo-spatial attentional patterns of
participants looking at 3D images depicting single tools and object-tool pairs. The object-tool …

In many daily activities, and especially in sport, it is necessary to predict the effects of others'
actions in order to initiate appropriate responses. Recently, researchers have suggested that …

The ability to form anticipatory representations of ongoing actions is crucial for effective
interactions in dynamic environments. In sports, elite athletes exhibit greater ability than …
