ROSSI: Emergence of communication in Robots through Sensorimotor and Social Interaction (2008)

Ziemke, Tom, Borghi, Anna, Anelli, Milena, Gianelli, Claudia, Binkovski, Ferdinand, Buccino, Giovanni, ...

Starting from the assumption that cognition is embodied, the ROSSI project addresses the question of how the possibility of communication between agents (e.g. humans and robots) is affected by...

Processing Abstract Language Modulates Motor System Activity. (2008)

Glenberg, Arthur, Sato, Marc, Cattaneo, Luigi, Riggio, Lucia, Palumbo, Daniele, Buccino, Giovanni

Embodiment theory proposes that neural systems for perception and action are also engaged during language comprehension. Previous neuroimaging and neurophysiological studies have only been able to...

The Different Neural Correlates of Action and Functional Knowledge in Semantic Memory: An fMRI Study (2008)

Canessa, Nicola, Borgo, Francesca, Cappa, Stefano F., Perani, Daniela, Falini, Andrea, Buccino, Giovanni, ...

Previous reports suggest that the internal organization of semantic memory is in terms of different “types of knowledge,” including “sensory” (information about perceptual features),...

Prefrontal involvement in imitation learning of hand actions : effects of practice and expertise. (2007)

Vogt, Stefan, Buccino, Giovanni, Wohlschläger, Afra M., Canessa, Nicola, Shah, N. Jon, Zilles, Karl, ...

In this event-related fMRI study, we demonstrate the effects of a single session of practising configural hand actions (guitar chords) on cortical activations during observation, motor preparation,...

Task related modulation of the motor system during language processing. (2007)

Sato, Marc, Mengarelli, Marisa, Riggio, Lucia, Gallese, Vittorio, Buccino, Giovanni

Recent neurophysiological and brain imaging studies have shown that the motor system is involved in language processing. However, it is an open question whether this involvement is a necessary...

ULOGA SUSTAVA ZRCALNIH NEURONA U MOTORIČKOM UČENJU (2006)

Buccino, Giovanni, Riggio, Lucia

Uvod Pod pojmom “motoričko učenje” razumije se niz procesa povezanih s vježbanjem tijekom kojih osoba usvaja nova motorička znanja i razvija motoričke sposobnosti (Schmidt 1991)....

Grasping the Intentions of Others with One's Own Mirror Neuron System (2005)

Marco Iacoboni, Istvan Molnar-Szakacs, Vittorio Gallese, Giovanni Buccino, John C. Mazziotta, Giacomo Rizzolatti

Functional magnetic resonance imaging is used to explore the responses of premotor cortical areas to observing the actions of others.

Grasping the Intentions of Others with One's Own Mirror Neuron System (2005)

Marco Iacoboni, Istvan Molnar-Szakacs, Vittorio Gallese, Giovanni Buccino, John C. Mazziotta, Giacomo Rizzolatti

Understanding the intentions of others while watching their actions is a fundamental building block of social behavior. The neural and functional mechanisms underlying this ability are still poorly...

Functions of the Mirror Neuron System: Implications for (2005)

Giovanni Buccino, Ana Solodkin, Steven L. Small

Abstract: Mirror neurons discharge during the execution of hand object-directed actions and during the observation of the same actions performed by other individuals. These neurons were first...

Cortical mechanism for the visual guidance of hand grasping movements in the monkey: A reversible inactivation study (2001)

Fogassi, Leonardo, Gallese, Vittorio, Buccino, Giovanni, Craighero, Laila, Fadiga, Luciano, Rizzolatti, Giacomo

Picking up an object requires two basic motor operations: reaching and grasping. Neurophysiological studies in monkeys have suggested that the visuomotor transformations necessary for these two...

Neural Dynamics of Learning Sound—Action Associations

McNamara, Adam, Buccino, Giovanni, Menz, Mareike M., Gläscher, Jan, Wolbers, Thomas, Baumgärtner, Annette, ...

A motor component is pre-requisite to any communicative act as one must inherently move to communicate. To learn to make a communicative act, the brain must be able to dynamically associate arbitrary...
