Accumulative empirical evidence has been reviewed in support of the notion that the
production and perception of action as well as the interpretation of others' actions are …

We advance a novel active inference model of the cognitive processing that underlies the
acquisition of a hierarchical action repertoire and its use for observation, understanding and …

Human observers demonstrate impressive visual sensitivity to human movement. What
defines this sensitivity? If motor experience influences the visual analysis of action, then …

Converging evidence has shown that action observation and execution are tightly linked.
The observation of an action directly activates an equivalent internal motor representation in …

Recovery of upper limb movement control after stroke might be enhanced by repetitive goal-
directed functional activities. Providing such activity is challenging in the presence of severe …

We tested here the hypothesis that observing others' actions can facilitate basic aspects of
motor performance, such as force production, even if subjects are not required to …

Longtemps nous avons considéré les animaux comme ceux que la nature avait privés des
qualités que nous, les humains, possédons: l'aptitude à raisonner, apprendre …

Researchers have recently reintroduced the own-body in the center of the social interaction
theory. From the discovery of the mirror neurons in the ventral premotor cortex of the …

Substantial data from the cognitive neurosciences point to the importance of bodily
processing for the development of a comprehensive theory of the self. A key aspect of the …

The cognitive system selects the most appropriate action imitative process: a semantic
process–relying on long-term memory representations for known actions, and low-level …
