Theory of Mind: A Neural Prediction Problem (2013, neutral): “Therefore some authors have linked motor predictions to social predictions via the idea of “mirror neurons,” or shared motor representations for one’s own and others’ actions (Brown and Brüne, 2012; Kilner and Frith, 2008; Patel et al., 2012).”
The functional role of the parieto-frontal mirror circuit: interpretations and misinterpretations (2010, background): “There have been theoretical attempts to integrate these two ways of understanding the intentions of other”
The role of prediction in social neuroscience (2012, background): “…related to expertise and familiarity of actions in motor cortex activity during action observation, and by studies showing neural activity outside of the mirror neuron system during observation of actions that are unfamiliar or difficult to understand (Brass et al., 2007; Kilner and Frith, 2008).”
