Journal ArticleDOI
A touching sight: SII/PV activation during the observation and experience of touch.
Christian Keysers,Bruno Wicker,Valeria Gazzola,Jean-Luc Anton,Leonardo Fogassi,Vittorio Gallese +5 more
TL;DR: It is found using fMRI that the secondary but not the primary somatosensory cortex is activated both when the participants were touched and when they observed someone or something else getting touched by objects.
Journal ArticleDOI
Somatosensation in social perception
TL;DR: 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.
Journal ArticleDOI
The anthropomorphic brain: the mirror neuron system responds to human and robotic actions.
TL;DR: The findings suggest that the mirror neuron system could contribute to the understanding of a wider range of actions than previously assumed, and that the goal of an action might be more important for mirror activations than the way in which the action is performed.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Observation and Execution of Actions Share Motor and Somatosensory Voxels in all Tested Subjects: Single-Subject Analyses of Unsmoothed fMRI Data
TL;DR: A model is proposed that extends the original idea of the MNS to include forward and inverse internal models and motor and sensory simulation, distinguishing the M NS from a more general concept of sVx.
Journal ArticleDOI
Empathy and the somatotopic auditory mirror system in humans
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors search for brain areas that respond both during motor execution and when individuals listened to the sound of an action made by the same effector, finding that a left hemispheric temporo-parieto-premotor circuit is activated in both cases.
