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 …

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 …

Neurophysiological and imaging studies have shown that seeing the actions of other
individuals brings about the vicarious activation of motor regions involved in performing the …

The ability to infer deceptive intents from nonverbal behavior is critical for social interactions.
By combining single-pulse and repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) in healthy …

In humans, motor resonance effects can be tracked by measuring the enhancement of
corticospinal excitability by action observation. Uncovering factors driving motor resonance …

Context plays a key role in coding high-level components of others' behavior, including the
goal and the intention of an observed action. However, little is known about its possible role …

The human inability to notice plants and recognise their importance on Earth has been
termed “plant blindness”. Among the main reasons (eg, cultural and biological factors) …

Observation aids motor skill learning. When multiple models or different levels of
performance are observed, does learning improve when the observer is informed of the …

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) studies have shown that observing an action
induces activity in the onlooker's motor system. In light of the muscle specificity and time …
