D Kemmerer - Progress in Neurobiology, 2021 - Elsevier
Seeing an agent perform an action typically triggers a motor simulation of that action in the

The mirror system and its role in social cognition

G Rizzolatti, M Fabbri-Destro - Current opinion in neurobiology, 2008 - Elsevier

Dynamic modulation of human motor activity when observing actions

C Press, J Cook, SJ Blakemore… - Journal of Neuroscience, 2011 - Soc Neuroscience
