Being Together in Time: Musical Experience and the Mirror Neuron System (2009, background): “Although still in its early stages of study, the MNS in humans already has been associated with a wide variety of higher-level functions in addition to action representation, including imitation and imitation learning (Buccino et al., 2004; Iacoboni et al., 1999; Koski, Iacoboni, Dubeau, Woods, & Ma”
The "Conscious" Dorsal Stream: Embodied Simulation and its Role in Space and Action Conscious Awareness (2007, background): “2004a) and in the perception of communicative actions (Buccino et al. 2004b).”
The case for motor involvement in perceiving conspecifics. (2005, background): “…of associative links between a particular action and its particular sensory effects, based on past experience (e.g., Blakemore & Decety, 2001; Buccino et al., 2004; Hesslow, 2002), suggests that the activated sensory representations will be from a first-person point of view: kinesthetic,…”
Mirror Neurons, Embodied Simulation, and the Neural Basis of Social Identification (2009, background): “The MNS in humans is directly involved in imitation of simple movements (Iacoboni et al., 1999), imitation learning of complex skills (Buccino et al., 2004a), in the perception of communicative actions (Buccino et al., 2004b), and in the detection of action intentions (Iacoboni et al., 2005).”
Empathy and the somatotopic auditory mirror system in humans. (2006, background): “Although some studies find MTG activation during motor execution [23, 24], others do not [25, 26].”
Neural systems underlying observation of humanly impossible movements: an FMRI study. (2005, background): “…are in keeping with a large number of neuroimaging and neurophysiological studies which demonstrate the involvement of premotor and motor cortices in action observation (Rizzolatti et al., 1996a,b, 2001; Hari et al., 1998; Iacoboni et al., 1999; Buccino et al., 2001, 2004a,b; Rossi et al., 2002).”
Descriptions of Pain, Metaphor, and Embodied Simulation (2010, background): “This has been found to apply not only to goal-directed movements involving hands, feet and mouths, but also to movements that are not directed to particular objects, and to actions that are new for the subjects but within their potential repertoire, such as playing the guitar (Buccino et al. 2004).”
A quantitative meta-analysis and review of motor learning in the human brain (2013, background): “For instance, neuroimaging studies have examined a variety of sensorimotor paradigms, including learning dexterous skills such as playing musical instruments (Buccino et al., 2004) or tying knots (Tracy et al.”
Mirror neuron: a neurological approach to empathy (2005, methodology): “Recently, an fMRI experiment was carried out to see which type of observed actions is recognized using the mirror neuron system (Buccino et al. 2004).”
The mirror neuron system. (2009, positive): “The results showed that during new motor pattern formation, ie, in the pause between observation and execution, there was a strong activation of the mirror system, namely the IPL, the ventral premotor, and the pars opercularis of the inferior frontal gyrus plus Brodmann area 46 and the anterior mesi”
