Social Mimicry Enhances Mu-Suppression During Action Observation [PDF]

Cerebral Cortex, 2014
During social interactions, there is a tendency for people to mimic the gestures and mannerisms of others, which increases liking and rapport. Psychologists have extensively studied the antecedents and consequences of mimicry at the social level, but the neural basis of this behavior remains unclear.

Shedding light on the small-scale crisis with CMB spectral distortions [PDF]

, 2017
The small-scale crisis, discrepancies between observations and N-body simulations, may imply suppressed matter fluctuations on subgalactic distance scales. Such a suppression could be caused by some early-universe mechanism (e.g., broken scale invariance

Gauge Mediated Mini-Split [PDF]

, 2016
We propose a simple model of split supersymmetry from gauge mediation. This model features gauginos that are parametrically a loop factor lighter than scalars, accommodates a Higgs boson mass of 125 GeV, and incorporates a simple solution to the $\mu-b_ ...

Aperiodic activity masks sensorimotor mu suppression during human action observation. [PDF]

Soc Cogn Affect Neurosci
Abstract In electroencephalography (EEG), action execution (AE) is reliably associated with reductions in the mu rhythm, a periodic oscillation (8–14 Hz) over sensorimotor cortex. Similar patterns of “mu suppression” have been reported during observations of others’ actions, leading to claims that the mu rhythm indexes motor ...

EEG sensorimotor correlates of translating sounds into actions

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2013
Understanding the actions of others is a necessary foundational cornerstone for effective and affective social interactions. Such understanding may result from a mapping of observed actions as well as heard sounds onto one’s own motor representations of

First evidence of coherent $K^{+}$ meson production in neutrino-nucleus scattering [PDF]

, 2016
Neutrino-induced charged-current coherent kaon production, $\nu_{\mu}A\rightarrow\mu^{-}K^{+}A$, is a rare, inelastic electroweak process that brings a $K^+$ on shell and leaves the target nucleus intact in its ground state. This process is significantly

Preparing for the unknown: How working memory provides a link between perception and anticipated action

NeuroImage, 2022
What mechanisms underlie the transfer of a working memory representation into a higher-level code for guiding future actions? Electrophysiological correlates of attentional selection and motor preparation processes within working memory were investigated

Mu-wave activity in schizophrenia: Evidence of a dysfunctional mirror neuron system from an Indian study

Indian Journal of Psychological Medicine, 2014
Background: The ′mirror-neuron system′ is thought to play an important role in automatic decoding of biological motions and interpretation of socially adaptive environmental stimuli.

Gender differences in the mu rhythm of the human mirror-neuron system. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2008
BackgroundPsychologically, females are usually thought to be superior in interpersonal sensitivity than males. The human mirror-neuron system is considered to provide the basic mechanism for social cognition.

Suppressing the $\mu$ and neutrino masses by a superconformal force [PDF]

, 2001
The idea of Nelson and Strassler to obtain a power law suppression of parameters by a superconformal force is applied to understand the smallness of the $\mu$ parameter and neutrino masses in R-parity violating supersymmetric standard models.
