Cross-talk between Language Processes and Overt Motor Behavior in the First 200 msec of Processing (2006, background): “Buccino et al. (2005), for instance, demonstrated that listening to hand and leg action-related sentences reduced the amplitude of motor-evoked potentials (MEPs) recorded from hand and leg muscles, respectively.”
The case for motor involvement in perceiving conspecifics. (2005, background): “…found that people are faster to make a finger movement to an arbitrary cue when an irrelevant but response-compatible visual finger movement is also shown and are slower to respond when an incompatible finger movement is shown (Brass et al., 2000; see also Stürmer, Aschersleben , & Prinz, 2000).”
The Importance of Temporal Structure and Rhythm for the Optimum Performance of Motor Skills: A New Focus for Practitioners of Sport Psychology (2009, background): “Experiments have shown that observation of an action primes that specific action to a greater degree than observation of other less direct cues such as numbers, which are pre-specified to map onto a particular action ( Brass, Bekkering, Wohlschlager, & Prinz, 2000 ).”
Listening to action-related sentences modulates the activity of the motor system: a combined TMS and behavioral study. (2005, methodology): “Behavioral studies also demonstrated that action observation may modulate the activity of the motor system [4,11,51].”
Motor imagery and action observation: cognitive tools for rehabilitation (2007, background): “Brass et al. (2000) studied to what extent the observation of a movement influenced the execution of that movement.”
Grasping the Intentions of Others: The Perceived Intentionality of an Action Influences Activity in the Superior Temporal Sulcus during Social Perception (2004, background): “, 2000; Wapner & Cirillo, 1968), and provision of mirror-image-like movements facilitates performance in simple learning tasks (Brass et al., 2000).”
Building a motor simulation de novo: Observation of dance by dancers (2006, background): “Behavioral studies have demonstrated interactions between action perception and execution (Brass et al., 2000, 2001a,b; Hamilton et al., 2004; Kilner et al., 2003) and lend additional credence to the idea of overlapping neural processes for action observation and execution.”
The mirror-neuron system. (2004, positive): “Psychological experiments strongly suggest that, in the cognitive system, stimuli and responses are represented in a commensurable format (Brass et al. 2000, Craighero et al. 2002, Wohlschlager & Bekkering 2002; see Prinz 2002).”
Motor interference between Humans and Humanoid Robots: Effect of Biological and Artificial Motion (2005, background): “Experimental psychology experiments have demonstrated that perceiving a simple action, such as a finger tapping [11], grasping [12], or arm movements [13] facilitates the concomitant execution of the same action and curbs the execution of a different one.”
Imitation, empathy, and mirror neurons. (2009, background): “Brass and colleagues tested this hypothesis in elegantly simple experiments (Brass et al. 2000, 2001).”
Neurophysiological mechanisms underlying the understanding and imitation of action (2001, background): “, and is the basis of the ideomotor theory of actio”
