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 ...

The role of attention in human motor resonance [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Observation of others' actions evokes in primary motor cortex and spinal circuits of observers a subliminal motor resonance response, which reflects the motor program encoding observed actions. We investigated the role of attention in human motor resonance with four experimental conditions, explored in different subject groups: in the first explicit ...

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 ...

Understanding motor resonance [PDF]
Social Neuroscience, 2011 The discovery of mirror neurons in monkeys, and the finding of motor activity during action observation in humans are generally regarded to support motor theories of action understanding. These theories take motor resonance to be essential in the understanding of observed actions and the inference of action goals.

FMRI supports the sensorimotor theory of motor resonance. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 The neural mechanisms mediating the activation of the motor system during action observation, also known as motor resonance, are of major interest to the field of motor control.

Motor resonance in left- and right-handers: evidence for effector-independent motor representations [PDF]
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2013 The idea of motor resonance was born at the time that it was demonstrated that cortical and spinal pathways of the motor system are specifically activated during both action-observation and execution.

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).

Motor Resonance and Linguistic Focus [PDF]
Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, 2008 Previous studies have demonstrated that verbal descriptions of actions activate compatible motor responses (Glenberg & Kaschak, 2002; Zwaan & Taylor, 2006). The present study replicates previous findings showing that, within a sentence, such activation is localized on the verb that denotes the action. Moreover, motor resonance is found to yield

Behavioural Synchronisation between Dogs and Humans: Unveiling Interspecific Motor Resonance? [PDF]
AnimalsDogs’ behavioural synchronisation with humans is of growing scientific interest. However, studies lack a comprehensive exploration of the neurocognitive foundations of this social cognitive ability.

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 ...
