A Social-Neuroscience Perspective on Empathy (2006, background): “There is strong evidence from fMRI studies, as well as from lesion studies in neurological patients, that the right temporo-parietal junction plays a critical role for the sense of self-agency (Decety & Sommerville, 2003).”
Philosophical Antecedents of Situated Cognition (2008, result): “This concept of intercorporeality finds good support in recent research on mirror neurons and neuronal resonance systems (e.g., Decety & Sommerville, 2003; Jeannerod, 2001; Rizzolatti, Fadiga, Gallese, & Fogassi, 1996; Rizzolatti, Fadiga, Matelli, et al., 1996), although these phenomena would not ”
Enactive intersubjectivity: Participatory sense-making and mutual incorporation (2009, background): “In sum, there is a strong tendency in present social cognitive science to rely on brain mechanisms such as mirror neurons or other special modules to explain social cognition (see e.g. Decety and Sommerville 2003; Frith and Frith 2001, 2007).”
Self-Evaluation of Decision-Making: A General Bayesian Framework for Metacognitive Computation (2017, result): “Previous studies have identified similarities in neural activity for self-and other-judgments (Decety & Sommerville, 2003; C. D. Frith & Frith, 1999; Jenkins et al., 2008; Mitchell, Banaji, & Macrae, 2006) albeit with a focus on personal-level judgments about beliefs, attitudes or personality…”
Attachment Trauma and the Developing Right Brain : Origins of Pathological Dissociation (2005, background): “…for generating self-awareness and self-recognition, and for the processing of “self-related material” (Craik et al., 1999; Decety & Chaminade, 2003; Decety & Sommerville, 2003; Feinberg & Keenan, 2005; Fossati et al., 2004; Keenan et al., 2000, 2001; Kircher et al., 2001; Miller et al., 2001;…”
Self-face recognition activates a frontoparietal "mirror" network in the right hemisphere: an event-related fMRI study (2005, positive): “According to this model, the self is thought of as a multi-dimensional construct relying on a distributed neural network encompassing shared self–other discriminations (Decety and Sommerville, 2003).”
Evolution of the brain and intelligence. (2005, positive): “Recent fMRI studies in humans identified cortical areas related to empathy/ToM, imitation and the distinction between self and others (review in [ 52 ]).”
The neural bases of cooperation and competition: an fMRI investigation (2004, background): “Both cooperative and competitive interactions necessitate self– other monitoring, that is, the ability to guide thought and action in accord with both internal intentions and those of others ( Decety and Sommerville, 2003 ).”
Mirror Neuron and Theory of Mind Mechanisms Involved in Face-to-Face Interactions: A Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging Approach to Empathy (2007, background): “The posterior TPJ and the inferior parietal cortex could thus play a role in the self–other distinction ( Decety & Sommerville, 2003 ).”
Understanding the Nature of Face Processing Impairment in Autism: Insights From Behavioral and Electrophysiological Studies (2005, background): “We speculate that this difficulty might stem from abnormalities in either (a) the reward system per se (W. Schultz, 1998) or (b) neural systems that might be important for the perception of social reward such as ability to form representations of others as “like me,” that is, similar to self in some”
How do we perceive the pain of others? A window into the neural processes involved in empathy (2005, background): “the perception–action coupling mechanism occurs at the covert level, its outcome enables the establishment of self–other equivalences that may be used to predict and understand others’ behaviors (Decety and Sommerville, 2003; Jackson and Decety, 2004; Jeannerod, 1999; Meltzoff, 2002).”
The functional architecture of human empathy. (2004, background): “The notion of shared representations between self and other (Decety & Sommerville, 2003; Jeannerod, 1999) is at the core of our theoretical framework.”
