[HTML][HTML] Mirror neurons 30 years later: implications and applications
Mirror neurons (MNs) were first described in a seminal paper in 1992 as a class of monkey
premotor cells discharging during both action execution and observation. Despite their …

From observed action identity to social affordances
Others' observed actions cause continuously changing retinal images, making it challenging
to build neural representations of action identity. The monkey anterior intraparietal area …
