More than an imitation game: Top-down modulation of the human mirror system
2017, Neuroscience and Biobehavioral ReviewsHunting for evidence of cognitive planning: Archaeological signatures versus psychological realities
2016, Journal of Archaeological Science: ReportsCitation Excerpt :It is this “open-loop” system (stimulus → response) that makes habits reflexive and thus computationally inexpensive but at the cost of being relatively inflexible and resistant to changes in the reward schedule if they have been “overtrained” (Dezfouli and Balleine, 2012; Dickinson, 1985). Associative learning is also pertinent to discussions of embodied cognition as the core mechanisms outlined above also underlie the acquisition and firing patterns of so-called “mirror neurons” (e.g. Heyes, 2010b; Heyes, 2010a; Heyes, 2013). Although embodied theories argue that action understanding, for example, is largely dependent on the activation of sensorimotor areas involved in both the performance and observation of motor actions, there are a number of inconsistencies in this line of reasoning.
Oscillations in the human brain during walking execution, imagination and observation
2015, NeuropsychologiaCitation Excerpt :Discovery of mirror neurons in the monkey (Rizzolatti et al., 1996) has motivated numerous human studies of visual processes involved in recognition (Blake and Shiffrar, 2007; Avanzini et al., 2013; Di Dio et al., 2013), and prediction of others’ movements (Csibra and Gergely, 2007; Kilner et al., 2007). These approaches were also extended to social cognition (Jacob and Jeannerod, 2005; Schutz-Bosbach and Prinz, 2007; Heyes, 2010; Press et al., 2011). Several technological of approaches have been used in this respect, particularly fMRI and EEG.
