..Furthermore, our results reveal a possible neurobiological substrate of psychotherapeutic treatment...

..These findings lend support to the hypothesis that conversion paralysis is associated with heightened self-monitoring during actions with the affected arm...

..We discuss the relevance of these results in the context of current models of action planning...

..These findings suggest that the central nervous system plays a key role in the pathophysiology of CFS and point to a new objective and quantitative tool for clinical diagnosis of this disabling disorder...

..This motor plan is calculated by a parieto-frontal network. Within this network, the posterior parietal cortex appears to incorporate proprioceptive information related to the current position of the body into the motor plan...

..These findings characterize the cerebral bases of the increased dependence on visual information processing during the generation of motor plans in PD, pointing to its compensatory role...

..The enhanced MFC activity may result either from reduced focusing abilities of the basal ganglia or from compensatory processes...

..The increased self-monitoring evoked by explicit motor imagery can have profound cerebral consequences in a psychopathological condition...

..Furthermore, the between-groups differences observed during erroneous performance point to motivational disturbances as a crucial component of CFS...

..Together, these results suggest that the reduced motor responsitivity observed in CP may be linked to altered dorsolateral prefrontal-motor connectivity...

..Together, our results suggest that IPS maintains an internal state of one's own body posture, while EBA contains a representation of the goal posture of the action plan...

..These data provide new insights into the mechanisms underlying behavioral consequences of attentional cueing...

..These data suggest that expectation facilitates perception by sharpening sensory representations...

..These findings extend the decoding results for static gratings and are of importance in the decoding of ongoing changes in mental state...

..Our results support a predictive coding model wherein attention reverses the sensory attenuation of predicted signals...

..These findings are well in line with hierarchical predictive coding models, which posit sequential stages of prediction error resolution, contingent on the level at which the hypothesis is generated...

..Importantly, the current study indicates that error detection in pMFC is independent of reward and generalizes beyond our own actions, highlighting its role in optimizing performance in both individual and joint action...

..Without denying the enormous importance of the discovery of mirror neurons, we highlight the limits of their explanatory power for understanding language and communication...

..More generally, our findings illustrate how rich cerebral dynamics can underlie stable behavior...

..Our findings imply that discriminability of information is independent of both the immediate and long-term effects that information can have on behavior...

..We show that by using the hierarchical generative model, we can obtain good-quality reconstructions of visual images of handwritten digits presented during an fMRI scanning session...

..Our results therefore suggest a potential role of awareness in deploying flexible strategies for biasing information acquisition in line with one's expectations and goals...

..Estimation of the posterior of interest is shown to be feasible even for very large models with thousands of variables...

..These findings significantly advance our knowledge about the brain's plasticity to self-identify with virtual agents and the human cognitive-affective potential to live and learn in virtual worlds...

....

..This supports the hypothesis that motor simulation and mentalizing have distinct but complementary functions for the recognition of others' intentions...

..This study demonstrates that for the particular stimuli and hardware used, the sensitivity of the magnitude MRI signal to detect evoked neuronal currents is too low to be of practical use...
