Mapping relational links between motor imagery, action observation, action-related language, and action execution [PDF]
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2022 Actions can be physically executed, observed, imagined, or simply thought about. Unifying mental processes, such as simulation, emulation, or predictive processing, are thought to underlie different action types, whether they are mental states, as in the

Cerebral hemodynamic response during a live action-observation and action-execution task: A fNIRS study. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2021 Although many studies have examined the location of the action observation network (AON) in human adults, the shared neural correlates of action-observation and action-execution are still unclear partially due to lack of ecologically valid neuroimaging ...

Motor Imagery and Action Execution [PDF]
Ergo, an Open Access Journal of Philosophy, 2020 Abstract: What triggers the execution of actions? What happens in that moment when an action is triggered? What mental state is there at the moment of action-execution that was not there a second before? My aim is to highlight the importance of a thus far largely ignored kind of mental state in the discussion of these old and much-debated questions ...

An fMRI study of action observation and action execution in childhood [PDF]
Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience, 2019 Although many studies have examined the location and function of the mirror neuron system (MNS) in human adults, we know relatively little about its development. The current study fills this gap by using fMRI to examine for the first time the development

Developmental Differences in Cortical Activation During Action Observation, Action Execution and Interpersonal Synchrony: An fNIRS Study [PDF]
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2020 Interpersonal synchrony (IPS) is an important everyday behavior influencing social cognitive development; however, few studies have investigated the developmental differences and underlying neural mechanisms of IPS. functional near-infrared spectroscopy (

THE REPRESENTATION OF OBJECTS IN APRAXIA: FROM ACTION EXECUTION TO ERROR AWARENESS [PDF]
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2016 Apraxia is a well-known syndrome characterized by the sufferer’s inability to perform routine gestures. In an attempt to understand the syndrome better, various different theories have been developed and a number of classifications of different subtypes ...

Numerical Affordance Influences Action Execution: A Kinematic Study of Finger Movement [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2018 Humans represent symbolic numbers as oriented from left to right: the mental number line (MNL). Up to now, scientific studies have mainly investigated the MNL by means of response times.
