Rule-dependent transformation of observed actions into self-actions in macaque ventral premotor cortex

Lilei Peng, Alexander Lappe, Shengjun Wen…·Joern K. Pomper

This study shows that PMv activity during action observation reflects variables related to the observer's own action rather than just the observed action.

Poor matching of action codes challenges 'mirroring' in macaque F5 mirror neurons

Joern K. Pomper, Mohammad Shams-Ahmar, Shengjun Wen…·Peter Thier

The paper shows that F5 mirror neurons in macaques poorly match action codes during observation and execution, challenging the motor representation hypothesis of action understanding.
