Exploring the neural correlates of goal-directed action and intention understanding (2011, unknown): “Previous work on the mirror neuron system has produced controversial results as to whether it responds more to humans than robots (Kilner et al., 2003; Tai et al., 2004) or equivalently to both (Gazzola et al., 2007; Oberman et al., 2007; Perani et al., 2001).”
What imitation tells us about social cognition: a rapprochement between developmental psychology and cognitive neuroscience. (2003, background): “Interestingly Perani et al. (2001) presented subjects with object-grasping actions performed by either a real hand or by means of 3D virtual reality or 2D TV screen.”
The posterior superior temporal sulcus is sensitive to the outcome of human and non-human goal-directed actions. (2011, background): “Studies have shown that the use of an animated human avatar can result in less activation in brain regions sensitive to animacy compared to viewing a more veridical human form, such as a video recording of actual human motion (Perani et al., 2001; Mar et al., 2007; Moser et al., 2007).”
Activations related to "mirror" and "canonical" neurones in the human brain: an fMRI study (2003, background): “…(Iacoboni et al., 1999; Hermsdorfer et al., 2001), pantomimes (Decety et al., 1997; Grèzes et al., 1998; Buccino et al., 2001), or objectdirected actions (Rizzolatti et al., 1996b; Grafton et al., 1996; Perani et al., 2001; Buccino et al., 2001; Decety et al., 2002; Chaminade et al., 2002).”
Neural systems underlying observation of humanly impossible movements: an FMRI study. (2005, background): “Moreover, while observation of actions performed by a virtual hand activates only lateral occipital cortices, observation of actions performed by a real hand activates a visuospatial network involved in action representation and execution (Perani et al., 2001).”
Transmodal Sensorimotor Networks during Action Observation in Professional Pianists (2005, unknown): “…studies demonstrated involvement of a fronto-parietotemporal network during motor observation (Buccino et al., 2001; Grezes & Decety, 2001; Perani et al., 2001; Nishitani & Hari, 2000; Iacoboni, Woods, et al., 1999; Hari et al., 1998; Bonda, Petrides, Ostry, & Evans, 1996; Grafton, Arbib,…”
The mirror-neuron system. (2004, unknown): “Because the border of monkey PMv and PMd corresponds approximately to the caudal continuation of this branch, the analogous border should, in humans, lie slightly ventral to the superior frontal sulcus.”
What speakers do and what addressees look at: visual attention to gestures in human interaction live and on video (2006, unknown): “Recent studies have suggested that visual processing of human and virtual reality hands activate somewhat different brain areas (Perani, Fazio, Borghese, Tettamanti, Ferrari, Decety and Gilardi 2001).”
Attention and reality constraints on the neural processes of empathy for pain (2007, background): “The posterior parietal cortex is activated during perception of hand actions (Perani et al., 2000).”
The thing that should not be: predictive coding and the uncanny valley in perceiving human and humanoid robot actions (2011, background): “Keywords: functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI); repetition suppression; action perception; predictive coding; temporal cortex; anterior intraparietal sulcus; mirror neuron system; extrastriate body area”
