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 …

Studying human infants will increase our understanding of the nature, origins and function of
neural mirroring mechanisms. Human infants are prolific imitators. Infant imitation indicates …

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 …

Empathic arousal is the first ontogenetic building block of empathy to appear during infancy
and early childhood. As development progresses, empathic arousal becomes associated …

Beta activity is thought to play a critical role in sensorimotor processes. However, little is
known about how activity in this frequency band develops. Here, we investigated the …

Objective To assess the developmental trajectory of spectral, topographic, and source
structural properties of functional mu desynchronization (characterized during voluntary …

At birth, human infants and newborns of other primate species demonstrate the capacity to
attend and to respond to facial stimuli provided by a caregiver. Newborn infants are also …

Accumulating evidence across species indicates that brain oscillations are superimposed
upon an aperiodic 1/f-like power spectrum. Maturational changes in neuronal oscillations …

Brain development has largely been studied through unimodal analysis of neuroimaging
data, providing independent results for structural and functional data. However, structure …

Human infants rapidly learn new skills and customs via imitation, but the neural linkages
between action perception and production are not well understood. Neuroscience studies in …
