Mirror neurons show activity during both the execution (AE) and observation of actions (AO).
The Mirror Neuron System (MNS) could be involved during motor imagery (MI) as well …

The nervous system is sensitive to statistical regularities of the external world and forms
internal models of these regularities to predict environmental dynamics. Given the inherently …

Interpersonal movement synchrony (IMS) is central to social behavior in several species. In
humans, IMS is typically studied using structured tasks requiring participants to produce …

Objective In social interactions, humans tend to naturally synchronize their body movements.
We investigated interpersonal synchronization in conversations and examined its …

Movements are naturally composed of submovements, ie recurrent speed pulses (2–3 Hz),
possibly reflecting intermittent feedback-based motor adjustments. In visuomotor …

Self-consciousness develops through a long process, from pre-reflexive consciousness
relying on body perception, to “meta” self-awareness. It emerges from the imitative …

In the last decade, the source and the functional meaning of motor variability have attracted
considerable attention in behavioral and brain sciences. This construct classically combined …

Object-mediated joint action is believed to be enabled by implicit information exchange
between interacting individuals using subtle haptic signals within their interaction forces …

Acting in concert with others, a key aspect of our social life, requires behavioral coordination
between persons on multiple timescales. When zooming in on the kinematic properties of …

In the absence of disease, humans produce smooth and accurate movement trajectories.
Despite such 'macroscopic'aspect, the 'microscopic'structure of movements reveals recurrent …
