FMRI evidence of 'mirror' responses to geometric shapes. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Mirror neurons may be a genetic adaptation for social interaction. Alternatively, the associative hypothesis proposes that the development of mirror neurons is driven by sensorimotor learning, and that, given suitable experience, mirror neurons will ...

Dissociating object directed and non-object directed action in the human mirror system; implications for theories of motor simulation. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Mirror neurons are single cells found in macaque premotor and parietal cortices that are active during action execution and observation. In non-human primates, mirror neurons have only been found in relation to object-directed movements or communicative ...

NeuroImage, 2010 Mirror neurons have been hailed as the key to understanding social cognition. I argue that three currents of thought-relating to evolution, atomism and telepathy-have magnified the perceived importance of mirror neurons. When they are understood to be a product of associative learning, rather than an adaptation for social cognition, mirror neurons are ...

Mirror Neurons : The human mirror neuron system
, 2012 This literature review explores human mirror neurons from several angles. First it retells mirror neuron history, from the initial discovery in the macaque monkey research through to the experiments determining if there is a human brain homologue. Then the merits of two opposing evolutionary views – mirror neurons as an adaptation or an association ...

Towards an understanding of liminal imagery in the digital domain [PDF]
, 2008 Many digital choreographers favour liminal imagery that aims to convey kinaesthetic sensation. I suggest here that this is not by chance. In the mid-nineties neuroscientists identified a collection of neurons named ‘mirror’ neurons.

The Mirror Neuron System [PDF]
Archives of Neurology, 2004 ▪ Abstract A category of stimuli of great importance for primates, humans in particular, is that formed by actions done by other individuals. If we want to survive, we must understand the actions of others. Furthermore, without action understanding, social organization is impossible.

Clinical applications and efficacy of mirror neuron function
Journal of Medical Science, 2023 Mirror therapy aims to restore the function of a disabled body part by using the function of mirror neurons in the brain and mimicking the physiological activity of a healthy body part. The existence of mirror neurons was first discovered in the monkey
