A fundamental issue in cognitive neuroscience is how the brain encodes others' actions and
intentions. In recent years, a potential advance in our knowledge on this issue is the …

This article argues that mirror neurons originate in sensorimotor associative learning and
therefore a new approach is needed to investigate their functions. Mirror neurons were …

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 …

Online repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), applied while subjects are
performing a task, is widely used to disrupt brain regions underlying cognition. However …

Successful mindreading entails both the ability to think about what others know or believe,
and to use this knowledge to generate predictions about how mental states will influence …

Neurophysiological and imaging studies have shown that seeing the actions of other
individuals brings about the vicarious activation of motor regions involved in performing the …

Several neurophysiologic and neuroimaging studies suggested that motor and perceptual
systems are tightly linked along a continuum rather than providing segregated mechanisms …

The action observation network (AON) has been extensively studied using short, isolated
motor acts. How activity in the network is altered when these isolated acts are embedded in …

Influential theories suggest that humans predict others' upcoming actions by using their own
motor system as an internal forward model. However, evidence that the motor system is …

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 …
