Congruent and Incongruent Corticospinal Activations at the Level of Multiple Effectors [PDF]
, 2015 Motor resonance is defined as the subliminal activation of the motor system while observing actions performed by others. However, resonating with another person's actions is not always an appropriate response: In real life, people do not just imitate but
