Eight Problems for the Mirror Neuron Theory of Action Understanding in Monkeys and Humans (2009, background): “The second experiment showed that although mirror neurons do not respond to pantomimed actions (actions without the object present), they do respond if an action is directed toward an object that is hidden behind a screen such that the monkey knows it is there (Umiltà et al., 2001).”
Imitation, empathy, and mirror neurons. (2009, methodology): “The role of mirror neurons in the recognition of hidden actions was tested by using a screen that occluded the completion of the grasping action (Umiltà et al. 2001).”
The anthropomorphic brain: The mirror neuron system responds to human and robotic actions (2007, background): “Finally in cases where the goal of the actions suggests a series of actions to follow, even if these actions are not seen, occlusion mirror neurons and sequence selective neurons could add to activations (Fogassi et al., 2005; Iacoboni et al., 2005; Umilta et al., 2001 ).”
The emergence of music from the Theory of Mind (2009, background): “Mirror neurons were classified as those that were shown to discharge when a monkey both executes or observes an action (Gallese et al., 1996), with a subset discharging when the final part of the action is hidden, indicating goal inference (Umiltà et al., 2001; Fogassi et al., 2005).”
How children with autism look at events (2009, background): “…when performing an action are also activated during the observation of the same actions (Fadiga, Fogassi, Pavesi, & Rizzolatti, 1995; Hari et al., 1998; Iacoboni et al., 1999; Nishitani & Hari, 2002; Rizzolatti, Fadiga, Gallese, & Fogassi, 1996; Rizzolatti & Craighero, 2004; Umiltà et al., 2001).”
Perceptual History Influences Neural Responses to Face and Body Postures (2003, background): “Recent studies show that neural responses in STSa (Baker et al., 2001) and prefrontal cortex (Umilta et al., 2001) to actions persist when the action becomes occluded from view.”
Mirror Neurons Responding to Observation of Actions Made with Tools in Monkey Ventral Premotor Cortex (2005, methodology): “For the criteria used to functionally characterize these areas, see the work of Umiltà et al. (2001).”
Predictive coding: an account of the mirror neuron system (2007, background): “…were first discovered in the premotor area, F5, of the macaque monkey (Di Pellegrino et al. 1992; Gallese et al. 1996; Rizzolatti et al. 2001; Umilta et al. 2001) and have been identified subsequently in an area of inferior parietal lobule, area PF (Gallese et al. 2002; Fogassi et al. 2005).”
Embodied Language: A Review of the Role of the Motor System in Language Comprehension (2008, background): “These observations are in harmony with the earlier finding that mirror neurons can be driven by the memory of an object (Umiltà et al., 2001).”
