Abstract Several models propose Motor Imagery, Action Observation, and Movement
Execution recruit the same brain regions. There is, however, no quantitative synthesis of the …

Here we argue functional neuroanatomy for posture-gait control. Multi-sensory information
such as somatosensory, visual and vestibular sensation act on various areas of the brain so …

How is it that thoroughly physical material beings such as ourselves can think, dream, feel,

Sensorimotor synchronization (SMS) is the coordination of rhythmic movement with an
external rhythm, ranging from finger tapping in time with a metronome to musical ensemble …

Motor imagery (MI) or the mental simulation of action is now increasingly being studied
using neuroimaging techniques such as positron emission tomography and functional …

Musical training has emerged as a useful framework for the investigation of training-related
plasticity in the human brain. Learning to play an instrument is a highly complex task that …

Working memory subsumes the capability to memorize, retrieve and utilize information for a
limited period of time which is essential to many human behaviours. Moreover, impairments …

Locomotion is a purposeful, goal‐directed behavior initiated by signals arising from either
volitional processing in the cerebral cortex or emotional processing in the limbic system …

Over the last decade, many neuroimaging studies have assessed the human brain networks
underlying action observation and imitation using a variety of tasks and paradigms …
