Building a motor simulation de novo: Observation of dance by dancers (2006, background): “Several studies have begun to address this question and have collectively demonstrated that the action simulation circuit shows the greatest activity when an individual observes an action that he or she is able to perform, compared to observation of physically impossible movements (Costantini et al.”
