Action, observation or imitation of virtual hand movement affect differently regions of the mirror neuron system and the default mode network.
Brain Imaging and Behavior October 1, 2018 Nabila Brihmat, Mohamed Tarri, Yann Quidé et al.
Virtual reality (VR)-based paradigms use visual stimuli that can modulate visuo-motor networks leading to the stimulation of brain circuits. The aims of this study were to compare the changes in blood-oxygenation level dependent (BOLD) signal when watching and imitating moving real (RH) and virtual hands (VH) in 11 healthy participants (HP). No differences were found between the observation of...
