Playing together without communicating? A pre-reflective and enactive account of joint musical performance (2015, background): “Data from neurophysiological and brain-imaging studies (Rizzolatti & Sinigaglia, 2008), implementation of dynamic systems theory in human development (Thelen & Smith, 1994), and findings in artificial intelligence (Clark, 1997), intersubjectivity (De Jaegher 2009; Gallese, 2001), neurophenomenology…”
Perspectives on the productivity dilemma (2009, background): “That similar mechanisms operate in the domain of perception has long been noticed, e.g., in Gestalt psychology, and has recently acquired additional confirmation the physiological level (Rizzolatti et al., 2008).”
The Direct-Perception Model of Empathy: a Critique (2011, background): “…approach to empathy hold the view that so-called processes of mirroring (or mimicry), exemplified by the activity of mirror neurons (MNs), underlie all instances of empathetic experiences (cf. Gallese 2001; Freedberg and Gallese 2007; Rizzolatti and Craighero 2005; Rizzolatti and Sinigaglia 2008).”
Embodied cognition and the magical future of interaction design (2013, background): “This may seem obvious, but the point needs to be made because there has been so much discussion in the neuroscience literature on the power of the motor resonance system [Rizzolati and Sinigaglia 2007; Agnew et al. 2007; Aglioti et al. 2008].”
Neural and Computational Mechanisms of Action Processing: Interaction between Visual and Motor Representations. (2015, background): “…et al., 2004; Rizzolatti and Sinigaglia, 2008; Spaulding, 2013); (4) philosophical aspects, such as how mirror neurons are related to mind reading (Keysers and Gazzola, 2007), the awareness of self and others, or empathy (e.g., Oberman and Ramachandran, 2007; Rizzolatti and Sinigaglia, 2008).”
A Moderate Approach to Embodied Cognitive Science (2012, background): “Early in their work the Parma group identified what they call a "motor vocabulary" in the monkey premotor area, where individual cells or populations of cells code for particular hand actions such as holding, grasping, breaking, etc. (Rizzolatti and Sinigaglia 2006).”
Development of artificial empathy. (2015, background): “…– Primary emotions (Russell, Self/non-self-discrimination Emotional contagion (Chen et al., 2009; de Waal, Motor mimicry (Gallese et al., 1996; 2008) As mentioned in Section 2.1, neural representations for complex emotions and self-awareness are localized in the anterior cingulate cortex and…”
From simple innate biases to complex visual concepts (2012, background): “, biomechanical motion (40)] as well as nonvisual sensory motor cues (41, 42), supplied in part by the mirroring system (43), may also play a role in the learning process.”
