Cortical mechanisms of human imitation.
- M. Iacoboni, R. Woods, M. Brass, H. Bekkering, J. Mazziotta, G. Rizzolatti
- Psychology, Medicine
- Science
- 24 December 1999
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… Expand
Unconscious determinants of free decisions in the human brain
There has been a long controversy as to whether subjectively 'free' decisions are determined by brain activity ahead of time. We found that the outcome of a decision can be encoded in brain activity… Expand
Compatibility between Observed and Executed Finger Movements: Comparing Symbolic, Spatial, and Imitative Cues
- M. Brass, H. Bekkering, A. Wohlschläger, W. Prinz
- Psychology, Medicine
- Brain and Cognition
- 1 November 2000
Intuitively, one can assume that imitating a movement is an easier task than responding to a symbolic stimulus like a verbal instruction. Support for this suggestion can be found in… Expand
Involvement of the inferior frontal junction in cognitive control: Meta‐analyses of switching and Stroop studies
- J. Derrfuss, M. Brass, J. Neumann, D. von Cramon
- Psychology, Medicine
- Human brain mapping
- 1 May 2005
There is growing evidence that a specific region in the posterior frontolateral cortex is involved intimately in cognitive control processes. This region, located in the vicinity of the junction of… Expand
Movement observation affects movement execution in a simple response task.
- M. Brass, H. Bekkering, W. Prinz
- Psychology, Medicine
- Acta psychologica
- 2001
The present study was designed to examine the hypothesis that stimulus-response arrangements with high ideomotor compatibility lead to substantial compatibility effects even in simple response tasks.… Expand
The role of the inferior frontal junction area in cognitive control
- M. Brass, J. Derrfuss, B. Forstmann, D. V. Cramon
- Psychology, Medicine
- Trends in Cognitive Sciences
- 1 July 2005
Cognitive control processes refer to our ability to coordinate thoughts and actions in accordance with internal goals. In the fronto-lateral cortex such processes have been primarily related to… Expand
Reafferent copies of imitated actions in the right superior temporal cortex

TLDR
Imitation: is cognitive neuroscience solving the correspondence problem?
Imitation poses a unique problem: how does the imitator know what pattern of motor activation will make their action look like that of the model? Specialist theories suggest that this correspondence… Expand
Inhibition of imitative behaviour and social cognition
- M. Brass, P. Ruby, S. Spengler
- Psychology, Medicine
- Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B…
- 27 August 2009
There is converging evidence that the observation of an action activates a corresponding motor representation in the observer through a ‘mirror-matching’ mechanism. However, research on such ‘shared… Expand
The What, When, Whether Model of Intentional Action
- M. Brass, P. Haggard
- Psychology, Medicine
- The Neuroscientist : a review journal bringing…
- 1 August 2008
The question of how we can intentionally control our behavior has an enduring fascination for philosophers, psychologists, and neurologists. Brain imaging techniques such as functional MRI have… Expand
