Mirror Neuron Activity During Audiovisual Appreciation of Opera Performance
Frontiers in Psychology, 2021 Opera is a performing art in which music plays the leading role, and the acting of singers has a synergistic effect with the music. The mirror neuron system represents the neurophysiological mechanism underlying the coupling of perception and action ...

A CLINICAL APPROACH TO THE MIRROR NEURON SYSTEM AND ITS FUNCTIONS
İstanbul Tıp Fakültesi Dergisi, 2021 Mirror neurons were discovered in macaque monkeys in the early 1990s by Rizzolatti and his colleagues at the University of Parma. In studies investigating mirror neurons in humans, noninvasive methods of neuroimaging and electrophysiology have been used ...

Gender differences in the mu rhythm of the human mirror-neuron system. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2008 BackgroundPsychologically, females are usually thought to be superior in interpersonal sensitivity than males. The human mirror-neuron system is considered to provide the basic mechanism for social cognition.

Neural correlates underpinning synchronized movement of double scull rowers
Scientific Reports, 2021 We investigated the neural correlates underpinning synchronized movement in rowers using a neural index for social interaction termed the phi complex. Phi 1 and phi 2 indicate the enhancement and reduction of mirror neuron activation, respectively.

Modulation of motor area activity by the outcome for a player during observation of a baseball game. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2009 BACKGROUND: Observing competitive games such as sports is a pervasive entertainment among humans. The inclination to watch others play may be based on our social-cognitive ability to understand the internal states of others.

Magnetoencephalography study of right parietal lobe dysfunction of the evoked mirror neuron system in antipsychotic-free schizophrenia. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 INTRODUCTION: Patients with schizophrenia commonly exhibit deficits of non-verbal communication in social contexts, which may be related to cognitive dysfunction that impairs recognition of biological motion.

Effect of visual orientation on mu suppression in children: a comparative EEG study with adults
Journal of Physiological Anthropology, 2018 Background The human mirror neuron system exists in adults, and even in children. However, a significant, unanswered question in the literature concerns age differences in the effect of visual orientation of human body movements.

Studying the Behaviour of Model of Mirror Neuron System in Case of Autism
International Journal of Science and Engineering, 2012 Several experiment done by the researchers conducted that autism is caused by the dysfunctional mirror neuron system and the dysfunctions of mirror neuron system is proportional to the symptom severity of autism.
