A neural signature for combined action observation and motor imagery? An fNIRS study into prefrontal activation, automatic imitation, and self–other perceptions

DOI: 10.1002/brb3.2407
Abstract: Research indicates that both observed and imagined actions can be represented in the brain as two parallel sensorimotor representations. One proposal is that higher order cognitive processes would align these two hypothetical action simulations. read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/hbm.25186
Abstract: The goal of this study was to reconcile inconsistency of neural engagement underlying action anticipation between experts and nonexperts, as well as between correct and incorrect anticipations. Therefore, we asked novice, intermediate, and skilled baseball… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.cortex.2017.11.003
Abstract: BACKGROUND Research investigating action observation-execution priming has mainly manipulated congruent versus incongruent action, and aspects of action expertise/capability. More specifically, the literature suggests enhanced performance priming following action observation by actors closely matched to participant… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.neuroimage.2018.03.037
Abstract: &NA; The desynchronization of alpha and beta oscillations (mu rhythm) in the central scalp EEG during action observation and action execution is thought to reflect neural mirroring processes. However, the extent to which mirror neurons… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.neuroimage.2018.05.020
Abstract: &NA; Context facilitates the recognition of forthcoming actions by pointing to which intention is likely to drive them. This intention is thought to be estimated in a ventral pathway linking MTG with frontal regions and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.neuroimage.2020.117486
Abstract: Action observation (AO) and motor imagery (MI) are motor simulations which induce cortical activity related to execution of observed and imagined movements. Neuroimaging studies have mainly investigated where the cortical activities during AO and MI… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.neuroimage.2021.118220
Abstract: Action observation is supported by a network of regions in occipito-temporal, parietal, and premotor cortex in primates. Recent research suggests that the parietal node has regions dedicated to different action classes including manipulation, interpersonal interactions,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.neuropsychologia.2017.02.025
Abstract: ABSTRACT The neural processes for action and language activate shared brain regions including the left inferior frontal, parietal and temporal‐occipital cortices. However, it still remains unclear how action and language are related and what neural… read more here.

Abstract: Perceiving, anticipating and responding to the actions of another person are fundamentally entwined processes such that seeing another's movement can prompt automatic imitation, as in social mimicry and contagious yawning. Yet the direct-matching of others'… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-017-17662-x
Abstract: Brain activity relating to recognition of action varies among subjects. These differences have been hypothesised to originate from genetic and environmental factors although the extent of their effect remains unclear. Effects of these factors on… read more here.
