A Moderate Approach to Embodied Cognitive Science (2012, background): “Mirror neurons have been discovered in monkeys (Rizzolatti et al. 1996; Rizzolatti and Sinigaglia 2010), humans (Keysers et al. 2010), and most recently in birds (Prather et al. 2008; Keller and Hahnloser 2009).”
The neurobiology of language beyond single words. (2014, background): “Despite the popular view that the mirror neuron system (MNS) is sufficient for action understanding (Rizzolatti & Sinigaglia 2010), the MNS does not provide the crucial neural infrastructure for inferring speaker meaning.”
From motor to sensory processing in mirror neuron computational modelling (2010, background): “…neuron activity is involved at earlier stages of sensory input processing; (ii) motor information coded by mirror neuron activity and identified in action control processes (Rizzolatti and Sinigaglia 2010) is used in observation mode for the purpose of interpreting perspectival sensory inputs.”
The Neural Selection and Integration of Actions and Objects: An fMRI Study (2012, background): “There is evidence that viewing actions evokes a simulated response in motor cortex (for a recent review, Rizzolatti & Sinigaglia, 2010 ).”
Rehabilitation of Motor Function after Stroke: A Multiple Systematic Review Focused on Techniques to Stimulate Upper Extremity Recovery (2016, positive): “…underlying mirror therapy’s effects are supposed to be related to the activity of mirror neurons which discharge in both circumstances of performing amotor act or of simply observing it being performed by another individual (Rizzolatti and Craighero, 2004; Rizzolatti and Sinigaglia, 2010).”
Imitating Latent Policies from Observation (2018, background): “is noteworthy that we can mirror behavior through only the observation of state trajectories without knowing the underlying actions (e.g., the exact kinematic forces) and intentions that yielded them [19]. In order to be general, artiﬁcial agents should also be equipped with similar forms of mimicry”
Action intentions modulate visual processing during action perception. (2011, methodology): “For example, a common representation of action goals or intentions, from observed actions and planned or executed actions (Rizzolatti & Sinigaglia, 2010), may lead to changes in perceptual judgments arising from late-stage higher-order processes associated with extracting meaning and intention from…”
Physiologically Inspired Model for the Visual Recognition of Transitive Hand Actions (2013, positive): “Theexistenceoffeed-backconnectionsfrommotortovisualrepresentations(e.g.,be-tweenpremotorareas,areaPFGandtheSTS)isstrongly suggestedbyanatomicaldata(RizzolattiandCraighero,2004; RizzolattiandSinigaglia,2010).”
Neural and Computational Mechanisms of Action Processing: Interaction between Visual and Motor Representations. (2015, background): “The first tries to implement the ‘‘direct matching hypothesis’’ (Rizzolatti and Fogassi, 2014; Rizzolatti and Sinigaglia, 2010), thus the hypothesis that action recognition and understanding exploits motor representations of the observed action (see above).”
Reintegrating the Study of Accuracy Into Social Cognition Research (2011, background): “For example, when both executing and observing motor acts, perceivers engage the socalled mirror neuron system, encompassing premotor, inferior frontal, and inferior parietal cortex (Iacoboni, 2009; Rizzolatti & Craighero, 2004; Rizzolatti & Sinigaglia, 2010).”
Two Mechanisms for Simulating Other Minds (2011, background): “…frontal cortex and superior parietal lobe (i.e., the parieto-frontal circuit) that are involved both in the production of goal-directed motor action and observation of others’ goal-directed actions (for a recent review, see Rizzolatti & Sinigaglia, 2010; see Hickok, 2009, for an alternative view).”
Social Cognitive Neuroscience of Empathy: Concepts, Circuits, and Genes (2012, background): “This would require single-cell recordings in humans (see Decety, 2010; also Hickok, 2009, for a critical view on mirror neurons; and Rizzolatti & Sinigaglia, 2010, for a reply).”
