Seeing and hearing speech excites the motor system involved in speech production

KE Watkins, AP Strafella, T Paus - Neuropsychologia, 2003 - Elsevier
The perception of action is associated with increased activity in motor regions, implicating
such regions in the recognition, understanding and imitation of actions. We examined the …

Human motor cortex excitability during the perception of others' action

L Fadiga, L Craighero, E Olivier - Current opinion in neurobiology, 2005 - Elsevier
