The mismatch negativity (MMN) is a brain response to violations of a rule, established by a
sequence of sensory stimuli (typically in the auditory domain) [Näätänen R. Attention and …

Is it possible to understand the intentions of other people by simply observing their actions?
Many believe that this ability is made possible by the brain’s mirror neuron system through …

It has been proposed that actions are intrinsically linked to perception and that imagining,
observing, preparing, or in any way representing an action excites the motor programs used to …

Neuronally plausible, generative or forward models are essential for understanding how
event-related fields (ERFs) and potentials (ERPs) are generated. In this paper, we present a …

There is much current debate about the existence of mirror neurons in humans. To identify
mirror neurons in the inferior frontal gyrus (IFG) of humans, we used a repetition suppression …

Using dynamic causal modelling (DCM), we have presented provisional evidence to suggest:
(i) the mismatch negativity (MMN) is generated by self-organised interactions within a …

Attractiveness is a facial attribute that shapes human affiliative behaviours. In a previous
study we reported a linear response to facial attractiveness in orbitofrontal cortex (OFC), a …

Mirror neurons were discovered over twenty years ago in the ventral premotor region F5 of
the macaque monkey. Since their discovery much has been written about these neurons, …

Cortical oscillations have been the target of many recent investigations, because it has
been proposed that they could function to solve the “binding” problem. In the motor cortex, …

Previous research has shown that some of the same motor regions are activated both when
performing and when observing a movement. Here we demonstrate in human subjects that …
