Cortical Mechanisms of Human Imitation
Abstract
How does imitation occur? How can the motor plans necessary for imitating an action derive from the observation of that action? Imitation may be based on a mechanism directly matching the observed action onto an internal motor representation of that action ("direct matching hypothesis"). To test this hypothesis, normal human participants were asked to observe and imitate a finger movement and to perform the same movement after spatial or symbolic cues. Brain activity was measured with functional magnetic resonance imaging. If the direct matching hypothesis is correct, there should be areas that become active during finger movement, regardless of how it is evoked, and their activation should increase when the same movement is elicited by the observation of an identical movement made by another individual. Two areas with these properties were found in the left inferior frontal cortex (opercular region) and the rostral-most region of the right superior parietal lobule.

“In the case of imitation, the mirror neuron system (MNS) has been hypothesized to underlie automatic response activation (Ferrari et al., 2009), since it responds during the observation and execution of similar actions and provides input to primary motor cortex (Di Pellegrino et al., 1992; Iacoboni et al., 1999; Rizzolatti and Craighero, 2004).”

“As such, the direct matching hypothesis between perception of an action and the activation of its internal motor representation (Iacoboni et al., 1999) suggests imitation as a prepotent response tendency (Brass et al., 2005).”

“Moreover, this process seems to prime the execution of similar actions, which suggests that the mirror-neuron system mediates imitation, by priming (i.e., preparing the brain for) execution of the same action (e.g., Iacoboni et al. 1999).”

- Two recent behavioral studies demonstrated that movement observation strongly affects movement execution in a paradigm similar to the one adopted here (M. Brass H. Bekkering A. Wohlschlager W. Prinz Brain Cogn. in press; M. Brass H. Bekkering W. Prinz Acta Psychol. in press). In both of these studies as in this imaging study a “mirror” configuration (right hand imitation of left hand action) was selected because it has been repeatedly shown that there is a natural tendency to imitate in the mirror configuration [
- ]. Statistical analysis was performed with analysis of variance (ANOVA) [R. P. Woods M. Iacoboni S. T. Grafton J. C. Mazziotta in Quantification of Brain Function Using PET R. Myers V. Cunningham D. Bailey T. Jones Eds. (Academic Press San Diego CA 1996) pp. 353–358]. Participants ( n = 12) fMRI scans ( n = 4) task ( n = 2: observation and observation-execution) and stimuli ( n = 3: animated hand static hand and geometric figure) were included in the ANOVA whereas rest periods were excluded. Because of the “blurred” hemodynamic response the six brain volumes acquired per task period cannot be considered independent observations. Thus we used the sum of the signal intensity at each voxel throughout each task period as the dependent variable. To account for the delayed hemodynamic response [

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
