Neural correlates of differential finger gesture imitation deficits in left hemisphere stroke
Behavioural studies in apraxic patients revealed dissociations between the processing of meaningful (MF) and meaningless (ML) gestures. Consequently, the existence of two differential neural mechanisms for the imitation of either gesture type has been ...

Imitation - Theory and Experimental Evidence [PDF]
We introduce a generalized theoretical approach to study imitation and subject it to rigorous experimental testing. In our theoretical analysis we find that the different predictions of previous imitation models are due to different informational ...

Automatic imitation of biomechanically possible and impossible actions: effects of priming movements versus goals [PDF]
Recent behavioral, neuroimaging, and neurophysiological research suggests a common representational code mediating the observation and execution of actions; yet, the nature of this representational code is not well understood.

Spatio-Temporal Patterns for a Generalized Innovation Diffusion Model [PDF]
We construct a model of innovation diffusion that incorporates a spatial component into a classical imitation-innovation dynamics first introduced by F. Bass. Relevant for situations where the imitation process explicitly depends on the spatial proximity
