Motor directional tuning across brain areas: Directional resonance and the role of inhibition for directional accuracy

Frontiers in Neural Circuits, 2013
Motor directional tuning (Georgopoulos et al., 1982) has been found in every brain area in which it has been sought for during the past 30-odd years.

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

Frontiers 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.

Baby steps: investigating the development of perceptual-motor couplings in infancy [PDF]

, 2014
There are cells in our motor cortex that fire both when we perform and when we observe similar actions. It has been suggested that these perceptual-motor couplings in the brain develop through associative learning during correlated sensorimotor ...

Intraspecific Motor and Emotional Alignment in Dogs and Wolves: The Basic Building Blocks of Dog–Human Affective Connectedness

Animals, 2020
Involuntary synchronization occurs when individuals perform the same motor action patterns during a very short time lapse. This phenomenon serves an important adaptive value for animals permitting them to socially align with group fellows thus increasing

The functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) procedure as experienced by healthy participants and stroke patients - a pilot study [PDF]

, 2009
Background: An important aspect in functional imaging research employing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is how participants perceive the MRI scanning itself.

Interregional compensatory mechanisms of motor functioning in progressing preclinical neurodegeneration. [PDF]

, 2013
Understanding brain reserve in preclinical stages of neurodegenerative disorders allows determination of which brain regions contribute to normal functioning despite accelerated neuronal loss.

Action Observation and Effector Independency

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2019
The finding of reasonably consistent spatial and temporal productions of actions across different body parts has been used to argue in favor of the existence of a high-order representation of motor programs.

Motor simulation without motor expertise: enhanced corticospinal excitability in visually experienced dance spectators [PDF]

, 2012
The human “mirror-system” is suggested to play a crucial role in action observation and execution, and is characterized by activity in the premotor and parietal cortices during the passive observation of movements.

Grasp-specific motor resonance is influenced by the visibility of the observed actor. [PDF]

Cortex, 2016
Motor resonance is the modulation of M1 corticospinal excitability induced by observation of others' actions. Recent brain imaging studies have revealed that viewing videos of grasping actions led to a differential activation of the ventral premotor ...
