Unifying Social Cognition

Evidence that suggests that when the authors witness the actions, sensations, and emotions of other individuals, they activate their premotor, parietal, somatosensory, and emotional structures as if they were performing similar actions or experiencing similar emotions and sensations is reviewed.

The neuroscience of social understanding

This chapter argues that Intentional Relations Theory is consistent with and can help interpret recent neurophysiological findings on “mirror neurons” that fire equivalently for intentional relations (i.e., object-directed actions, emotions, and mental activities) of self and other.

The social brain: neural basis of social knowledge.

Social cognition in humans is distinguished by psychological processes that allow us to make inferences about what is going on inside other people-their intentions, feelings, and thoughts. Some of

What Do Mirror Neurons Contribute to Human Social Cognition

It is argued that the activity of MNs in an observer ' s brain is enhanced by a prior representation of the agent ' s intention and that their task is to predictively compute the best motor command suitable to satisfy the agent ’ s intention.

Exploring the Development of the Mirror Neuron System: Finding the Right Paradigm

This article critically reviews a number of experimental paradigms employed in the exploration of the processes and principles behind the emergence of the mirror neuron system and suggests that future neuroscientific investigations should incorporate a response-stimulus procedure, whereby action execution results in, not from, novel sensory stimuli.

Evolution of mirror systems: a simple mechanism for complex cognitive functions

This work proposes that mirror neurons serve a unitary form of sensorimotor recognition of others’ behavior, and suggests that MN systems may be more ancient and widespread than previously thought.

Neural modeling of the cortical processes underlying imitative behaviors

The developed neural models of the cortical networks involved in imitation contribute to a better understanding of the neural mechanisms underlying this human ability and suggest several new directions and hypotheses for research in the field of both experimental psychology and neuroscience.

Somatosensation in social perception

This Review focuses the limelight of social neuroscience on a different set of brain regions: the somatosensory cortices, which have anatomical connections that enable them to have a role in visual and auditory social perception.

Goal Representation in Human Anterior Intraparietal Sulcus

It is demonstrated that the anterior intraparietal sulcus represents the goal of an observed action in an event-related functional magnetic resonance imaging experiment.
