Predictive coding: an account of the mirror neuron system [PDF]

Cognitive Processing, 2007
Is it possible to understand the intentions of other people by simply observing their actions? Many believe that this ability is made possible by the brain's mirror neuron system through its direct link between action and observation. However, precisely how intentions can be inferred through action observation has provoked much debate.

Neural Basis of Action Observation and Understanding From First- and Third-Person Perspectives: An fMRI Study

Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2018
Understanding the intentions of others while observing their actions is a fundamental aspect of social behavior. However, the differences in neural and functional mechanisms between observing actions from the first-person perspective (1PP) and third ...

Are there dedicated neural mechanisms for imitation? A study of grist and mills.

PLoS ONE, 2023
Are there brain regions that are specialized for the execution of imitative actions? We compared two hypotheses of imitation: the mirror neuron system (MNS) hypothesis predicts frontal and parietal engagement which is specific to imitation, while the ...

Brain activation induced by different strengths of hand grasp: a functional magnetic resonance imaging study

Neural Regeneration Research, 2020
Mirror neuron system can be activated by observation and execution of an action. It has an important function of action understanding. We investigated brain activations in humans by observing the strength of a hand grasp using functional magnetic ...

On computational models of theory of mind and the imitative reinforcement learning in spiking neural networks

Scientific Reports
Theory of Mind is referred to the ability of inferring other’s mental states, and it plays a crucial role in social cognition and learning. Biological evidences indicate that complex circuits are involved in this ability, including the mirror neuron ...

Role of the Mirror-Neuron System in Cross-Education

Sports Medicine, 2013
The present review proposes the untested hypothesis that cross-education performed with a mirror increases the transfer of motor function to the resting limb compared with standard cross-education interventions without a mirror. The hypothesis is based on neuroanatomical evidence suggesting an overlap in activated brain areas when a unilateral motor ...

Associative (not Hebbian) learning and the mirror neuron system [PDF]

Neuroscience Letters, 2013
The associative sequence learning (ASL) hypothesis suggests that sensorimotor experience plays an inductive role in the development of the mirror neuron system, and that it can play this crucial role because its effects are mediated by learning that is sensitive to both contingency and contiguity.

The Correlation between a Dysfunctional Mirror Neuron System and Autism Spectrum Disorders

Impulse: The Premier Undergraduate Neuroscience Journal, 2020
Frequently explored in macaque monkeys, the mirror neuron system (MNS) has demonstrated much influence over the development of behavioral patterns of animals.
