Infants' mu suppression during the observation of real and mimicked goal-directed actions [PDF]
Developmental Science, 2012 Since their discovery in the early 1990s, mirror neurons have been proposed to be related to many social-communicative abilities, such as imitation. However, research into the early manifestations of the putative neural mirroring system and its role in ...

Mu-Suppression as an Indicator of Empathic Processes in Lesbian, Gay, and Heterosexual Adults. [PDF]
Arch Sex Behav, 2020 Abstract Self-reported empathy differs with gender and sexual orientation. The current study investigated whether mu-suppression, reflecting brain activity especially related to state empathy, also is modulated by gender and sexual orientation. Pictures of painful and non-painful actions were presented to 20 lesbians, 20 gay men, 20 heterosexual men ...

Mu suppression - A good measure of the human mirror neuron system?
Cortex, 2016 Mu suppression has been proposed as a signature of the activity of the human mirror neuron system (MNS). However the mu frequency band (8-13 Hz) overlaps with the alpha frequency band, which is sensitive to attentional fluctuation, and thus mu suppression could potentially be confounded by changes in attentional engagement.

NeuroImage, 2021 Sensorimotor alpha suppression is present both during the observation and execution of actions, and is a commonly used tool to investigate neural mirroring in infancy. Köster et al. (2020) used this measure to investigate infants’ motor cortex activation

Down and up! Does the mu rhythm index a gating mechanism in the developing motor system?
Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience, 2023 Developmental research on action processing in the motor cortex relies on a key neural marker – a decrease in 6–12 Hz activity (coined mu suppression).

Mu rhythm suppression is associated with the classification of emotion in faces [PDF]
Cognitive, Affective, & Behavioral Neuroscience, 2016 The mirror neuron system (MNS) has been mooted as a crucial component underlying human social cognition. Initial evidence based on functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) suggests that the MNS plays a role in emotion classification, but further confirmation and convergent evidence is needed.

Peak frequency of the sensorimotor mu rhythm varies with autism-spectrum traits
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2022 Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental syndrome characterized by impairments in social perception and communication. Growing evidence suggests that the relationship between deficits in social perception and ASD may extend into the ...

Scientific Reports, 2020 Previous research has demonstrated that eye contact between actor and observer specifically enhances the ‘mirroring’ of others’ actions, as measured by transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS)-induced motor evoked potentials (MEPs).

The Study of Object-Oriented Motor Imagery Based on EEG Suppression. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Motor imagery is a conventional method for brain computer interface and motor learning. To avoid the great individual difference of the motor imagery ability, object-oriented motor imagery was applied, and the effects were studied.

Effect of the Hand-Omitted Tool Motion on mu Rhythm Suppression [PDF]
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2016 In the present study, we investigated the effect of the image of hands on mu rhythm suppression invoked by the observation of a series of tool-based actions in a goal-directed activity. The participants were 11 university students. As a source of visual stimuli to be used in the test, a video animation of the porcelain making process for museums was ...
