  Title Neurophysiological mechanisms underlying the understanding and imitation of action Type Journal Article
  Year 2001 Publication Nature Reviews Neuroscience Abbreviated Journal Nat Rev Neurosci  
  Volume 2 Issue 9 Pages 661-670  
  Keywords  
  Abstract What are the neural bases of action understanding? Although this capacity could merely involve visual analysis of the action, it has been argued that we actually map this visual information onto its motor representation in our nervous system. Here we discuss evidence for the existence of a system, the ‘mirror system’, that seems to serve this mapping function in primates and humans, and explore its implications for the understanding and imitation of action.
