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

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.

Linking differences in action perception with differences in action execution. [PDF]
Soc Cogn Affect Neurosci, 2015 Successful human social interactions depend upon the transmission of verbal and non-verbal signals from one individual to another. Non-verbal social communication is realized through our ability to read and understand information present in other people's actions.

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 cortical inhibition during concurrent action execution and action observation
NeuroImage, 2020 Action Execution (AE) and Action Observation (AO) share an extended cortical network of activated areas. During coordinative action these processes also overlap in time, potentially giving rise to behavioral interference effects.

Progressively shifting patterns of co-modulation among premotor cortex neurons carry dynamically similar signals during action execution and observation [PDF]
eLifeNeurons in macaque premotor cortex show firing rate modulation whether the subject performs an action or observes another individual performing a similar action.

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 (

Predictive vision-language monitoring for proactive safety in robot task execution [PDF]
Frontiers in Robotics and AIRobots that execute language-conditioned tasks in dynamic environments often rely on feedback only after an action has failed, which can be insufficient when failures involve collisions or workspace conflicts.
