Effects of sensorimotor learning on the human mirror neuron system
… this question using a variety of techniques. Imitation is one of the key processes thought to be subserved by the mirror neuron system; Chapter 3 shows that automatic imitation effects are separable from spatial compatibility effects. This establishes automatic imitation effects as suitable …

EXPLORING COVERT MOTOR PROCESSES: BEHAVIORAL INSIGHTS AND INNOVATIVE APPLICATIONS OF TRANSCRANIAL MAGNETIC STIMULATION
… single-trial variability. To overcome these limitations, the thesis introduces the MultiMEP approach, which records MEPs simultaneously from multiple muscles and applies decoding techniques inspired by multivoxel pattern analysis (MVPA). This method captures distributed patterns of …

Emotions and the Mirror Neuron System: How far can sensorimotor simulation differentiate between dynamic emotional facial expressions?
… mu suppression findings with a keyboard press automatic imitation (AI) task. However, this experiment was ceased due to spatial compatibility effects confounding the AI task. Overall, as a result of the thesis’s findings, it may be posited that the extended MNS is involved in the emotion …

Experience Dependent Sensorimotor Functioning in Adults with Severe Autism Spectrum Disorder
… were used to verify the diagnosis of autism, and automatic imitation (Chapter Three) was used to verify an intact perception-action link. In Chapter Four, in Twists, the trampolining group (those with sensorimotor experience) had a First Fixation Location on the incongruent model on the first …

The Contribution of Planning-related Motor Processes to Mental Practice and Imitation Learning
… Experiment 5 and 6 then extend these results to imitation learning. Participants were instructed to learn the rhythms by observing somebody else, while again making unrelated responses with their hand and feet. While previous work on stimulus response compatibility focussed on testing automatic …
