Observing grasping actions directed to emotion-laden objects: effects upon corticospinal excitability

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2016
The motor system is recruited whenever one executes an action as well as when one observes the same action being executed by others. Although it is well established that emotion modulates the motor system, the effect of observing other individuals acting

Robot-assisted image-guided transcranial magnetic stimulation for somatotopic mapping of the motor cortex: a clinical pilot study. [PDF]

, 2009
Shape and exact location of motor cortical areas varies among individuals. The exact knowledge of these locations is crucial for planning of neurosurgical procedures.

Natural Translating Locomotion Modulates Cortical Activity at Action Observation

Frontiers 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

Complementary Actions

Frontiers in Psychology, 2015
Complementary colors are color pairs which, when combined in the right proportions, produce white or black. Complementary actions refer here to forms of social interaction wherein individuals adapt their joint actions according to a common aim.

Intention and motor representation in purposive action [PDF]

, 2014
Are there distinct roles for intention and motor representation in explaining the purposiveness of action? Standard accounts of action assign a role to intention but are silent on motor representation.

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

Frontiers 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 ...

Short-term motor training, but not observational training, alters neurocognitive mechanisms of action processing in infancy [PDF]

, 2015
The role of motor experience in the processing of perceived actions is hotly debated on both behavioral (e.g., action understanding) and neural (e.g., activation of the motor system) levels of interpretation. Whereas some researchers focus on the role of

Multimodal Music Perception Engages Motor Prediction: A TMS Study

Frontiers 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).

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

Frontiers 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.

Sleep-related consolidation of a visuomotor skill: brain mechanisms as assessed by functional magnetic resonance imaging [PDF]

, 2003
Subjects were trained on a pursuit task in which the target trajectory was predictable only on the horizontal axis. Half of them were sleep deprived on the first post-training night (n = 13).
