Precisely, the human MNS responds to both executed and observed actions [37], and therefore might mediate the interference between executed and observed actions.
In the functional MRI experiment, participants were asked to execute and observe neutral and affective dynamic facial expressions, but no explicit emotion recognition was required.
Single unit studies in the premotor cortex of macaque monkeys indicate that neurons in area F5, particularly in the caudal portion of the inferior frontal gyrus (IFG), are indistinguishable from neighboring neurons in terms of their motor properties and discharge in response to executed and observed actions [ 23] (for a review see [ 4]).
It has been argued that areas of the cortex that contain mirror neurons should show fMRI adaptation both when an action is executed and subsequently observed, and when an action is observed and subsequently executed.
For example, Umilta et al. [ 18] found that neurons in F5, which fire both when the monkey executes and observes grasping actions, also fired when the monkey observed the experimenter's grasping action disappear behind a screen.
GLM was performed using separate auditory predictors for the conditions joint action condition to capture brain activity caused by hearing the words "angle" or "straight" and separate action predictor for the joint action, observation and execution conditions to capture brain activity triggered by executing and/or observing the finger movements.
In particular, the paper examines the varying spatialities and forms of mobility executed by farmers and observes how different patterns of mobility are executed in response to the particular exigencies of their respective industries as well as the ongoing imperatives of maintaining a farm business.
Differences in firing patterns when monkeys were executing actions (compared to observing them) may be caused by different input encodings Slightly different percentages of goal-specific neurons were reported, depending on whether the monkey was executing or observing the action [ 6].
Allow JScreenFix to execute for 6 hours and observe the results.
This variability would be caused partly by the nature of the grasp (observed or executed) and partly by the details of the motion.
