The thing that should not be: predictive coding and the uncanny valley in perceiving human and humanoid robot actions (2011, background): “In support for this, there are links between activity within the APS and whether the observer can perform the seen movement (e.g. Calvo-Merino et al., 2006; Cross et al., 2006; Candidi et al., 2008).”
Brain basis of human social interaction: from concepts to brain imaging. (2009, background): “The brain activation patterns strongly supported the motor expertise hypothesis: the activation was stronger to movements related to the dancer’s own sex (21).”
Neural mechanisms of understanding rational actions: middle temporal gyrus activation by contextual violation. (2011, background): “ville 2000), and the signals related to actions of the subjects’ own repertoire (Buccino et al. 2004; Calvo-Merino et al. 2006) may be further processed in the inferior parietal lobule, particularly for the chaining of motor acts into a more global action (Fogassi et al.”
Facilitating Understanding of Movements in Dynamic Visualizations: an Embodied Perspective (2011, background): “Using both brain imaging techniques and behavioral tasks, researchers have demonstrated that the neural substrates used to perform an action are recruited when observing someone else performs an action and that this neural activation enables action understanding (e.g., Calvo-Merino et al. 2005, 200”
The interactive brain hypothesis (2012, background): “They depend on such factors as the level of performance skill in the actions being observed, as shown in the case of ballet dancers (Calvo-Merino et al., 2006), the use of chopsticks (Järverläinen et al., 2004) and other tools (Ferrari et al., 2005).”
Neural reflections of meaning in gesture, language, and action (2009, background): “210 (Calvo-Merino et al. 2006), and / or were not capable of doing so since the actions were complicated dance movements (Calvo-Merino et al.”
The mirror neuron system. (2009, neutral): “Observing steps particular to male dancers produced a stronger mirror activation in professional male dancers than those performed by female dancers and vice versa.(21) An additional prospective study showed that dancers who were initially naive to certain steps showed an increase in mirror activati”
Where do mirror neurons come from? (2010, background): “, 2005) or performing (motor experience; Calvo-Merino et al., 2006) an action might contribute to mirror neuron development, but the associative hypothesis makes the”
Action anticipation and motor resonance in elite basketball players (2008, neutral): “In a similar vein, neuroimaging studies show that motor expertise modulates the activation of the human mirror system during the observation of dance move”
Embodied Language: A Review of the Role of the Motor System in Language Comprehension (2008, background): “Calvo-Merino, Grezes, Glaser, Passingham, and Haggard (2006) utilized the fact that there are gender-specific movements that are performed by either male or female ballet dancers.”
Prefrontal involvement in imitation learning of hand actions: Effects of practice and expertise (2007, background): “Given the results of previous studies on expertise effects (Calvo-Merino et al., 2005, 2006), we were interested in the level of activation in both the MNS and in prefrontal areas relative to the non-guitarists, and whether the guitarists might exhibit a different pattern of regional activations…”
