The left side of motor resonance [PDF]
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2014 Motor resonance is defined as the internal activation of an observer’s motor system, specifically attuned to the perceived movement. In social contexts, however, different patterns of observed and executed muscular activation are frequently required ...

Measuring Brain Complexity During Neural Motor Resonance [PDF]
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2018 Background: EEG mu-desynchronization is an index of motor resonance (MR) and is used to study social interaction deficiencies, but finding differences in mu-desynchronization does not reveal how nonlinear brain dynamics are affected during MR.

Social threat and motor resonance: when a menacing outgroup delays motor response [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2016 Motor resonance (MR) involves the activation of matching motor representations while observing others’ actions. Recent research has shown that such a phenomenon is likely to be influenced by higher order variables such as social factors (e.g., ethnic ...

Visual Attention and Motion Visibility Modulate Motor Resonance during Observation of Human Walking in Different Manners [PDF]
Brain Sciences, 2021 To advance our knowledge on the motor system during cyclic gait observation, we aimed to explore the effects of gaze fixation on corticospinal excitability evaluated by single-pulse transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS).

The social relevance and the temporal constraints of motor resonance in humans [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2023 In humans, motor resonance effects can be tracked by measuring the enhancement of corticospinal excitability by action observation. Uncovering factors driving motor resonance is crucial for optimizing action observation paradigms in experimental and ...

Empathic Dimensions Influence Motor Resonance Magnitude During Transitive but Not Intransitive Action Observation: A Retrospective Investigation [PDF]
Brain SciencesBackground/Objectives: Empathy is essential for successful social functioning, mediating different aspects of social cognition in everyday life. An intriguing aspect is the involvement of empathy even in basic neural mechanisms of action perception ...

Motor Resonance Flexibility to Emotion-Enriched Context in Parkinson’s Disease Patients [PDF]
Behavioural Neurology, 2022 In healthy people, motor resonance mechanisms are flexible to negative emotional contextual clues with greater motor resonance during the observation of a reach to grasp movement performed in an environment eliciting disgust. The link between emotion and
