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 …

Many human behaviours and pathologies have been attributed to the putative mirror neuron
system, a neural system that is active during both the observation and execution of actions …

Neuroscientific investigations interested in questions of person perception and impression
formation have traditionally asked their participants to observe and evaluate isolated …

Recent years have seen a rapid increase in research investigating the motor-related brain
activity that supports joint action. This research has employed a variety of joint action tasks …

There is now converging evidence that others' actions are represented in the motor system.
However, social cognition requires us to represent not only the actions but also the …

Motor resonance (MR) contingent upon action observation is thought to occur largely
automatically. Although recent studies suggest that this process is not completely impervious …

ASD is associated with mentalizing deficits that may correspond with atypical mirror system
(MS) activation. We investigated MS activity in adults with and without ASD when inferring …

Motor resonance is considered to be an index of the automatic under threshold motor replica
of the observed action. Similar actions may be quite different in terms of long-term goals (eg …

Recent studies have investigated the neural correlates of how we perceive emotions of
individuals or a group of individuals using images of individual bodily expressions …

This work explores the mirror neuron system activity produced by the observation of virtual
tool manipulations in the absence of a visible effector limb. Functional MRI data was …
