Functions of the Mirror Neuron System: Implications for Neurorehabilitation
Cognitive and Behavioral Neurology, 2006Mirror neurons discharge during the execution of hand object-directed actions and during the observation of the same actions performed by other individuals. These neurons were first identified in the ventral premotor cortex (area F5) and later on in the inferior parietal lobule of monkey brain, thus constituting the mirror neuron system. More recently,

A Mirror Neuron System for Syntax Acquisition
2001We investigate the use of a connectionist model of a mirror neuron cortical network for a context free syntax acquisition task. A finite state representation of the context free grammar is learned by an implicit knowledge system (IKS) modelled by a connectionist network.

Towards a robotic model of the mirror neuron system
2013 IEEE Third Joint International Conference on Development and Learning and Epigenetic Robotics (ICDL), 2013Action understanding undoubtedly involves visual representations. However, linking the observed action with the respective motor category might facilitate processing and provide us with the mechanism to “step into the shoes” of the observed agent. Such principle might be very useful also for a cognitive robot allowing it to link the observed action ...

Bidirectional ARTMAP: an artificial mirror neuron system
Proceedings of the International Joint Conference on Neural Networks, 2003., 2004The recent detection of mirror neurons in monkeys suggests that brains encode parts of an observed action in a similar way they encode own actions. This paper models such a mirror system by means of adaptive resonance theory (ART) artificial neural networks coupling them in a manner similar to ARTMAP systems. Particularly, a bidirectional ARTMAP system

Social affordances: Is the mirror neuron system involved?
Behavioral and Brain Sciences, 2013AbstractWe question the idea that the mirror neuron system is the substrate of social affordances perception, and we suggest that most of the activity seen in the parietal and premotor cortex of the human brain is independent of mirroring activity as characterized in macaques, but rather reflects a process of one's own action specification in response ...

The mirror neuron system and the consequences of its dysfunction
Nature Reviews Neuroscience, 2006The discovery of premotor and parietal cells known as mirror neurons in the macaque brain that fire not only when the animal is in action, but also when it observes others carrying out the same actions provides a plausible neurophysiological mechanism for a variety of important social behaviours, from imitation to empathy.

The Human Mirror Neuron System
2009Following the discovery in Rhesus monkeys of “mirror neurons” that fire during both execution and observation of motor behavior, human studies have documented a fronto-parietal mirror neuron system (MNS) with apparently similar functions. We discuss some issues related to the human research, including measurement with neuro imaging techniques and ...

The Human Mirror Neuron System and Embodied Representations
2009Mirror neurons are defined as neurons in the monkey cortex which respond to goal oriented actions, whether the behavior is self-generated or produced by another. Here we briefly review this literature and consider evidence from behavioral, neuropsychological, and brain imaging studies for a similar mirror neuron system in humans. Furthermore, we review

Music and Mirror Neuron System
2019Musical abilities arise from an extensive practice—starting in childhood and going on throughout musician’s lifetime—engaging perceptual, motor, and cognitive domains. The shaping of brain networks that induces music skills development is sustained by the growing capability to transform auditory stimuli into their motor representation.
