Changing ideas about others' intentions: updating prior expectations tunes activity in the human motor system [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Predicting intentions from observing another agent’s behaviours is often thought to depend on motor resonance – i.e., the motor system’s response to a perceived movement by the activation of its stored motor counterpart, but observers might also rely on ...

Natural Translating Locomotion Modulates Cortical Activity at Action Observation

open access: yesFrontiers in Systems Neuroscience, 2017
The present study verified if the translational component of locomotion modulated cortical activity recorded at action observation. Previous studies focusing on visual processing of biological motion mainly presented point light walker that were fixed on

36 degree step size of proton-driven c-ring rotation in FoF1-ATP synthase [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Synthesis of the biological "energy currency molecule" adenosine triphosphate ATP is accomplished by FoF1-ATP synthase. In the plasma membrane of Escherichia coli, proton-driven rotation of a ring of 10 c subunits in the Fo motor powers catalysis in the ...

Measuring Human-Robot Interaction Through Motor Resonance [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Social Robotics, 2012
In the last decades, the introduction of robotic devices in fields such as industries, dangerous environments, and medicine has notably improved working practices. The availability of a new generation of humanoid robots for everyday’s activities in human populated environments can entail an even wider revolution.

Gravity Cues Embedded in the Kinematics of Human Motion Are Detected in Form-from-Motion Areas of the Visual System and in Motor-Related Areas

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2017
The present study investigated the cortical areas engaged in the perception of graviceptive information embedded in biological motion (BM). To this end, functional magnetic resonance imaging was used to assess the cortical areas active during the ...

Men fear other men most: Gender specific brain activations in perceiving threat from dynamic faces and bodies. An fMRI study. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
We report a functional magnetic resonance imaging experiment showing different activation patterns as a function of threatening signals from facial or bodily expressions and these differed between male and female participants as a function of male and ...

Multimodal Music Perception Engages Motor Prediction: A TMS Study

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience, 2018
Corticospinal excitability (CSE) in humans measured with Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is generally increased by the perception of other people’s actions. This perception can be unimodal (visual or auditory) or multimodal (visual and auditory).

Altered resting state neuromotor connectivity in men with chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome: A MAPP: Research Network Neuroimaging Study. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Brain network activity associated with altered motor control in individuals with chronic pain is not well understood. Chronic Prostatitis/Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome (CP/CPPS) is a debilitating condition in which previous studies have revealed altered ...

Does listening to action-related sentences modulate the activity of the motor system? Replication of a combined TMS and behavioural study.

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2015
The neurophysiological and behavioural correlates of action-related language processing have been debated for long time. A precursor in this field was the study by Buccino and colleagues (Buccino et al.

Sensorimotor expertise influences perceptual weight judgments during observation of a sport-specific gesture

open access: yesFrontiers in Sports and Active Living, 2023
This study aimed to investigate the role of sensorimotor expertise in evaluating relative weight of a lifted object during the observation of a sport-specific gesture, namely the deadlift.
