AbstractBesides linguistic communication, which is at the core of human communication, humans communicate using arm gestures, body postures, facial expressions, eye contact, and head and body movements. Communication may be intentional or non-intentional.

Mirror neurons discharge both when a macaque monkey performs an object-directed action, such as grasping a peanut, and when the monkey observes another individual performing the same action, such as when the monkey sees the experimenter grasp a peanut.

From Mirror Writing to Mirror Neurons
2010The article offers a personal perspective on Simulation of Animal Behavior, starting with the inspiration of Norbert Wiener's 1948 Cybernetics for the publication of Brains, Machines, and Mathematics in 1964. This led to a range of simulations of the brains and behaviors of frogs (Rana computatrix), rats, monkeys and humans.

The mirror neuron system: New frontiers
Social Neuroscience, 2008Since the discovery of mirror neurons, much effort has been invested into studying their location and properties in the human brain. Here we review these original findings and introduce the main topics of this special issue of Social Neuroscience. What does the mirror system code?

Apraxia, metaphor and mirror neurons
Medical Hypotheses, 2007Ideomotor apraxia is a cognitive disorder in which the patient loses the ability to accurately perform learned, skilled actions. This is despite normal limb power and coordination. It has long been known that left supramarginal gyrus lesions cause bilateral upper limb apraxia and it was proposed that this area stored a visual-kinaesthetic image of the ...

More questions for mirror neurons
Consciousness and Cognition, 2013The mirror neuron system is widely held to provide direct access to the motor goals of others. This paper critically investigates this idea, focusing on the so-called 'intentional worry'. I explore two answers to the intentional worry: first that the worry is premised on too limited an understanding of mirror neuron behaviour (Sections 2 and 3), second

Imitation, Empathy, and Mirror Neurons
Annual Review of Psychology, 2009There is a convergence between cognitive models of imitation, constructs derived from social psychology studies on mimicry and empathy, and recent empirical findings from the neurosciences. The ideomotor framework of human actions assumes a common representational format for action and perception that facilitates imitation. Furthermore, the associative

Making sense of mirror neurons
Synthese, 2008The discovery of mirror neurons has been hailed as one of the most exciting developments in neuroscience in the past few decades. These neurons discharge in response to the observation of others’ actions. But how are we to understand the function of these neurons? In this paper I defend the idea that mirror neurons are best conceived as components of a
