Neural correlates underpinning synchronized movement of double scull rowers by Takahiro Hirao, Hiroaki Masaki

“…Phi 1 and phi 2 indicate the enhancement and reduction of mirror neuron activation, respectively. We hypothesized that in a leader–follower relation, followers would exhibit a larger phi 2 power than leaders due to enhanced mirror neuron activation by the followers to accurately mimic their partner’s movements. …”

Modulation of motor area activity by the outcome for a player during observation of a baseball game. by Sotaro Shimada

“…However, whether the mirror neuron system responds similarly in a more complex and naturalistic sports game has not yet been fully investigated. …”

Examining cross-modal fMRI adaptation for observed and executed actions in the monkey brain by Ding Cui, Koen Nelissen

“…While mirror neurons have been found in several monkey brain regions, their existence in the human brain is still largely inferred from indirect non-invasive measurements like functional MRI. …”

Crossmodal classification of mu rhythm activity during action observation and execution suggests specificity to somatosensory features of actions by Coll, M, Press, C, Hobson, H, Catmur, C, Bird, G

“…The alpha mu rhythm (8-13 Hz) has been considered to reflect mirror neuron activity due to the fact that it is attenuated by both action observation and action execution. …”

On computational models of theory of mind and the imitative reinforcement learning in spiking neural networks by Ashena Gorgan Mohammadi, Mohammad Ganjtabesh

“…Biological evidences indicate that complex circuits are involved in this ability, including the mirror neuron system. The mirror neuron system influences imitation abilities and action understanding, leading to learn through observing others. …”

Mirroring ‘meaningful’ actions: Sensorimotor learning modulates imitation of goal-directed actions by Catmur, C, Heyes, C

“…Together these data support the hypothesis that the capacity for behavioural imitation, and the properties of the mirror neuron system, are constructed in the course of development through associative learning.…”

Being moved by the self and others: influence of empathy on self-motion perception. by Christophe Lopez, Caroline J Falconer, Fred W Mast

Why our brains love arts and crafts by Minna Huotilainen, Mimmu Rankanen, Camilla Groth, Pirita Seitamaa-Hakkarainen, Maarit Mäkelä

“…Art and craft practitioners have personal experience of the benefits of making: the handling of material can help to regulate our mental states through providing a means to reach flow states. The mirror neuron system helps in skill learning, and the plasticity of the brain ensures that skills may be learned at all stages of life. …”

Experience-based priming of body parts: a study of action imitation. by Gillmeister, H, Catmur, C, Liepelt, R, Brass, M, Heyes, C

“…Our results also support the hypothesis that the development of imitation and the mirror neuron system are driven by correlated sensorimotor learning.…”

Effects of the Left M1 iTBS on Brain Semantic Network Plasticity in Patients with Post-Stroke Aphasia: A Preliminary Study by Qing Yang, Shuo Xu, Mengye Chen, Panmo Deng, Ren Zhuang, Zengchun Sun, Chong Li, Zhijie Yan, Yongli Zhang, Jie Jia

“…Background: The left primary motor area (M1) stimulation has recently been revealed to promote post-stroke aphasia (PSA) recovery, of which a plausible mechanism might be the semantic and/or the mirror neuron system reorganization, but the direct evidence is still scarce. …”
