Motor abstraction: a neuroscientific account of how action goals and intentions are mapped and understood.

19 Apr 2009 Recent findings in cognitive neuroscience shed light on the existence of a common neural mechanism that could account for action and intention to understand abilities in humans and non-human primates. Empirical evidence on the neural underpinnings ...

Tests of the elaborated intrusion theory of craving and desire: Features of alcohol craving during treatment for an alcohol disorder.

9 Apr 2009 OBJECTIVES: We tested predictions from the elaborated intrusion (EI) theory of desire, which distinguishes intrusive thoughts and elaborations, and emphasizes the importance of imagery. Secondarily, we undertook preliminary evaluations of the ...

Development of hierarchical structures for actions and motor imagery: a constructivist view from synthetic neuro-robotics study.

6 Apr 2009 The current paper shows a neuro-robotics experiment on developmental learning of goal-directed actions. The robot was trained to predict visuo-proprioceptive flow of achieving a set of goal-directed behaviors through iterative tutor training ...

The role of motor simulation in action perception: a neuropsychological case study.

5 Apr 2009 Research on embodied cognition stresses that bodily and motor processes constrain how we perceive others. Regarding action perception the most prominent hypothesis is that observed actions are matched to the observer's own motor representations. ...

Modulation of stimulus-induced 20-Hz activity during lower extremity motor imagery.

4 Apr 2009 Using magnetoencephalography, we measured 20-Hz activity induced after the common peroneal nerve (CPN) stimulation in 15 healthy subjects during the execution of foot movement or its motor imagery, and examined whether the 20-Hz activity is ...

Brain mechanisms for predictive control by switching internal models: implications for higher-order cognitive functions.

2 Apr 2009 Humans can guide their actions toward the realization of their intentions. Flexible, rapid and precise realization of intentions and goals relies on the brain learning to control its actions on external objects and to predict the consequences of ...

Thinking as the control of imagination: a conceptual framework for goal-directed systems.

2 Apr 2009 This paper offers a conceptual framework which (re)integrates goal-directed control, motivational processes, and executive functions, and suggests a developmental pathway from situated action to higher level cognition. We first illustrate a basic ...

Mental imagery vividness as a trait marker across the schizophrenia spectrum.

Apr 2009 We investigated the vividness of mental imagery and its possible relationship with the predisposition towards hallucinations in 52 schizophrenia (SZ) patients, 44 of their first-degree relatives (R) and two healthy control groups (high-schizotypy ...

Increasing convergence between imagined and executed movement across development: evidence for the emergence of movement representations.

30 Mar 2009 Motor imagery (MI) has become a principal focus of interest in studies on brain and behavior. However, changes in MI across development have received virtually no attention so far. In the present study, children (N = 112, 6 to 16 years old) ...
