fMRI evidence of ‘mirror’ responses to geometric shapes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Mirror neurons may be a genetic adaptation for social interaction [1]. Alternatively, the associative hypothesis [2], [3] proposes that the development of mirror neurons is driven by sensorimotor learning, and that, given suitable experience, mirror ...

The Action Observation System when Observing Hand Actions in Autism and Typical Development [PDF]

open access: yesAutism Research, 2015
Social impairments in individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) may be in part due to difficulty perceiving and recognizing the actions of others. Evidence from imitation studies, which involves both observation and execution of an action, suggests differences, in individuals with ASD, between the ability to imitate goal‐directed actions ...

Stereoscopically Observing Manipulative Actions

open access: yesCerebral Cortex, 2016
The purpose of this study was to investigate the contribution of stereopsis to the processing of observed manipulative actions. To this end, we first combined the factors "stimulus type" (action, static control, and dynamic control), "stereopsis" (present, absent) and "viewpoint" (frontal, lateral) into a single design.

Observation of Both Skilled and Erroneous Object Lifting Can Improve Predictive Force Scaling in the Observer

open access: yesFrontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2019
Recent studies have highlighted that the observation of hand-object interactions can influence perceptual weight judgments made by an observer. Moreover, observing salient motor errors during object lifting allows individuals to update their internal ...
