Two systems for empathy: a double dissociation between emotional and cognitive empathy in inferior frontal gyrus versus ventromedial prefrontal lesions. (2009, background): “While the latter studies and other studies (Wicker et al., 2003; Singer et al., 2004) have also focused on the role of the insula in simulation of the others’ emotional experiences, a recent study has emphasized the specific role of the IFG in emotional empathy (Schulte-Ruther et al.”
The Direct-Perception Model of Empathy: a Critique (2011, background): “Wicker et al. (2003) have reported fMRI evidence showing that the brain areas (in particular the anterior insula) that are active when one experiences disgust as a result of inhaling a disgusting odorant are also active when one recognizes another’s experience of disgust from observing the other’s…”
Descriptions of Pain, Metaphor, and Embodied Simulation (2010, background): “…findings suggest that mirror neurons may be involved in attributing goals and intentions to others (Iacoboni et al., 2005), while evidence of mirroring mechanisms has been found for some sensory and emotional experiences, such as disgust and pain (e.g., Wicker et al., 2003; Singer et al., 2004).”
What Is It like to Feel Another’s Pain?* (2012, background): “Some recent scientific evidence suggests that for a variety of emotional experiences (e.g., disgust and fear) and bodily sensations (e.g., touch and pain), talk of sharing is not just loose talk (Wicker et al. 2003; Keysers et al. 2004; Singer et al. 2004; Blakemore et al. 2005).”
Neuroimaging Support for Discrete Neural Correlates of Basic Emotions: A Voxel-based Meta-analysis (2010, unknown): “…and LaBar (2005) fMRI 5m, 7f 25.9 Visual oddball task V (Pictures) S Whalen et al.

(2001) fMRI 11m 30 Viewing facial expressions V (Faces) A Williams et al.…”
Being Together in Time: Musical Experience and the Mirror Neuron System (2009, background): “Functional neuroimaging studies have shown recruitment of the anterior insula when an individual feels disgusted and when they see someone else expressing disgust (Wicker et al., 2003).”
Political Neuroscience: The Beginning of a Beautiful Friendship (2014, background): “, 2009) and that the insula plays a pivotal role in the experience of disgust (Wicker et al., 2003).”
The social brain? (2007, background): “(b) Mirroring emotions and actions The idea that there is a mirror system in the brain arises from the observation that the same brain areas are activated when we observe another person experiencing an emotion as when we experience the same emotion ourselves (e.g. Wicker et al. 2003).”
Empathy versus personal distress: Recent evidence from social neuroscience. (2009, background): “For instance, the first-hand experience of disgust and the sight of disgusted facial expressions in others both activate the anterior insula (Wicker et al., 2003).”
Social cognitive neuroscience: a review of core processes. (2007, background): “Wicker et al. (2003) found that two regions associated with affective processing, the anterior insula and dACC, were activated both when individuals smelled disgusting odors themselves and when they watched videoclips of others smelling these odors.”
Measuring Group Climate in Prison (2011, unknown): “…social cognition and social learning (Gazzola, Aziz Zadeh, & Keysers, 2006; Iacoboni & Dapretto, 2006; Vignemont & Singer, 2006), less impulsivity and fear (Wykes et al., 2002), and improved ability to show feelings and empathy (Corrigan 2004, Jolliffe & Farrington, 2004; Wicker et al., 2003).”
Neuroscience meets dance/movement therapy : Mirror neurons, the therapeutic process and empathy (2006, background): “Using functional magnetic resonance imaging (FMRI)3 to study the influence of various odorants on the brain, a team of researchers (Wicker et al., 2003) exposed one individual to three types of olfactory stimuli—malodorous, pleasant or neutral—to elicit either an emotion of disgust, pleasure, or a n”
