Effects of action observation on corticospinal excitability: Muscle specificity, direction, and timing of the mirror response
Many human behaviours and pathologies have been attributed to the putative mirror neuron
system, a neural system that is active during both the observation and execution of actions …

Making mirrors: premotor cortex stimulation enhances mirror and counter-mirror motor facilitation
Mirror neurons fire during both the performance of an action and the observation of the same
action being performed by another. These neurons have been recorded in ventral premotor …

Dual-site TMS as a tool to probe effective interactions within the motor network: a review
Dual-site transcranial magnetic stimulation (ds-TMS) is well suited to investigate the causal
effect of distant brain regions on the primary motor cortex, both at rest and during motor …

What have we learned from “perturbing” the human cortical motor system with transcranial magnetic stimulation?
PA Chouinard, T Paus - Frontiers in human neuroscience, 2010 - frontiersin.org
The purpose of this paper is twofold. First, we will review different approaches that one can

Corticospinal facilitation during observation of graspable objects: a transcranial magnetic stimulation study
In 1979, Gibson first advanced the idea that the sight of graspable objects automatically
activates in the observer the repertoire of actions necessary to interact with them, even in the …

Motor facilitation during action observation: The role of M1 and PMv in grasp predictions
Recent theories propose that movement observation is not a “passive mirror” of ongoing
actions but might induce anticipatory activity when predictable movements are observed, eg …
