The functional architecture of human empathy. (2004, methodology): “There are specific subcircuits within the premotor, prefrontal, and parietal cortices that account for either the self or the other (e.g., Ruby & Decety, 2001).”
Entrepreneurial judgment as empathic accuracy: a sequential decision-making approach to entrepreneurial action (2013, background): “…of a problem from another’s perspective activates different regions of the brain than thinking about that same problem from one’s own perspective (Ruby and Decety, 2001, 2003), entrepreneurs are likely to allocate attention differently when imagining how consumers or stakeholders will evaluate…”
Self-referential reflective activity and its relationship with rest: a PET study (2005, background): “, 2005), attributing actions to oneself (Farrer et al., 2003; Ruby and Decety, 2001), reflecting on one’s own abilities, personality traits or attitudes (Fossati et al.”
Theory of Mind and Empathic Explanations of Machiavellianism (2013, background): “In addition, the precuneus region has been implicated in perspective taking (e.g., Cavanna & Trimble, 2006; Ruby & Decety, 2001; Vogeley et al., 2001, 2004).”
The neural correlates of direct and reflected self-knowledge (2005, methodology): “Stimulus presentation and response collection were controlled by the program E-prime running on a Windows 98 Computer.”
Representing others' actions: just like one's own? (2003, neutral): “…cortex (Gallese, Fadiga, Fogassi, & Rizzolatti, 1996; Iacoboni et al., 1999; Rizzolatti, Fogassi, & Gallese, 2001), posterior parietal cortex (Ruby & Decety, 2001) and the cerebellum (Grossman et al., 2000), are activated when an action is imagined or carried out as well as when the same…”
Functional connectivity mapping of the human precuneus by resting state fMRI (2012, background): “, 2003), and self-related processes such as empathy, intentionality judgment, attribution of emotional state and perspective taking (den Ouden et al., 2005; Farrow et al., 2001; Kircher et al., 2002; Ochsner et al., 2004; Ruby and Decety, 2001) activated middle part of ventral precuneus (cluster 8).”
Better you than I: Perspectives and emotion simulation during narrative comprehension (2011, methodology): “Specifically, using the pronoun you to describe an action (e.g., You are peeling the cucumber) leads readers to mentally simulate the action from the performer’s perspective, whereas the pronouns I and he promote an observer’s perspective (Brunyé et al., 2009; Ruby & Decety, 2001).”
Somatosensory activations during the observation of touch and a case of vision-touch synaesthesia. (2005, background): “…insula was activated in neuroimaging studies in which subjects imagined themselves performing actions relative to someone else performing the same action (Ruby and Decety, 2001), looked at pictures of their own face (Kircher et al., 2001) and identified their own memories (Fink et al., 1996).”
What imitation tells us about social cognition: a rapprochement between developmental psychology and cognitive neuroscience. (2003, background): “…cortex in the sense of agency is supported by converging evidence from neuropsychology (Kinsbourne 2002), and other neuroimaging studies (e.g. Ruby & Decety 2001; Chaminade & Decety 2002; Farrer & Frith 2002; Farrer et al. 2003), as well as from abnormalities in self–other distinctions found…”
Development of the adolescent brain: implications for executive function and social cognition. (2006, background): “Several neuroimaging studies have implicated the inferior parietal cortex in the distinction between the self and others at the sensorimotor level (Blakemore, Wolpert, & Frith, 1998; Farrer & Frith, 2002; Ruby & Decety, 2001 ).”
A PET Exploration of the Neural Mechanisms Involved in Reciprocal Imitation (2002, background): “Recently, Ruby and Decety (2001) reported left parietal activation when subjects mentally simulated an action with a first-person perspective and right parietal activation when subjects simulated an action with a third person perspective, i.e., imagining the action of the other.”
