Imitation, empathy, and mirror neurons. (2009, background): “Brass and colleagues tested this hypothesis in elegantly simple experiments (Brass et al. 2000, 2001).”
Social attitudes modulate automatic imitation (2010, methodology): “Berger & Hadley, 1975; Dimberg, 1982), including previous studies utilizing stimulus-response compatibility paradigms (e.g. Bird et al., 2007; Brass et al., 2000; Brass et al., 2001; Leighton & Heyes, in press; Press et al., 2008).”
The antecedents and consequences of human behavioral mimicry. (2013, background): “Recently, Heyes (2011) has argued that stimulus compatibility effects (e.g., quicker response times when opening a hand when someone else opens her hand, as opposed to when she closes her hand; Brass et al. 2001, Leighton et al. 2010) should also be classified as automatic imitation.”
Neural systems underlying observation of humanly impossible movements: an FMRI study. (2005, background): “This link is further supported by behavioral studies showing that execution of a given action is positively or negatively modulated by observation of the same or a different action (Brass et al., 2001; Craighero et al., 2002).”
Neural circuits involved in imitation and perspective-taking (2006, background): “…findings fit well with other studies that have also shown that compatibility between the movement to be executed and the model is a factor that significantly influences motor performance (e.g., Brass et al., 2001; Craighero et al., 2002; Heyes et al., 2005; Vogeley et al., 2004; Vogt, 2003).”
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.”
Compatibility between observed and executed finger movements: comparing symbolic, spatial, and imitative cues. (2000, background): “In addition a study by Craighero et al. (1996, 1998) demonstrated that presentation of an object primes a response related to that object.”
