Seeing an agent perform an action typically triggers a motor simulation of that action in the
observer's Mirror Neuron System (MNS). Over the past few years, it has become increasingly …

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 …

Humans show a preference for using the right hand over the left for tasks and activities of
everyday life. While experimental work in non-human primates has identified the neural …

The human mirror neuron system is believed to play an important role in facilitating the
