Perceiving other people's behaviors activates imitative motor plans in the perceiver, but
there is disagreement as to the function of this activation. In contrast to other recent …

This chapter reviews results of clinical and functional imaging studies which investigated the
time-course of cortical and subcortical activation during the acquisition of motor a skill …

Asymmetry of the brain and behaviour (lateralization) has traditionally been considered
unique to humans. However, research has shown that this phenomenon is widespread …

The DIVA model of speech production provides a computationally and neuroanatomically
explicit account of the network of brain regions involved in speech acquisition and …

The Recursive Mind challenges the commonly held notion that language is what makes us
uniquely human. In this compelling book, Michael Corballis argues that what distinguishes …

Cognitive Neuroscience of Language provides an up-to-date, wide-ranging, and
pedagogically practical survey of the most important developments in this exciting field. It …

This paper describes a neural model of speech acquisition and production that accounts for
a wide range of acoustic, kinematic, and neuroimaging data concerning the control of …

Evidence exists that the observation of actions activates the same cortical motor areas that
are involved in the performance of the observed actions. The neural substrate for this is the …

The mesial premotor cortex (pre-supplementary motor area and supplementary motor area
proper), lateral premotor cortex (dorsal premotor cortex and ventral premotor cortex), and …

How do we understand what others are trying to say? The answer cannot be found in
language alone. Words are linked to hand gestures and other visible phenomena to create …
