.... of humans and certain species [192] Furthermore, it was demonstrated to be absent in other, lower order animals [191] or very limited in others [190] In addition, through recent discoveries of mirror neurons, action perception pathways and functional magnetic resonance imaging results [2] [157] 77] 165] a neural basis for imitative learning has been recently hypothesized . Certain experiments indicated consistent firings in a mirror neuron either when an action was performed by a subject or when another individual was perceived performing the same action. In addition, ....

....Our work bears on the evolutionary history of imitation in that it outlines a potentially phylogenetically old mechanism as the core of the phenomenon. Imitation is not only a powerful learning mechanism, but it is also thought to be a keystone in the evolution of communication and language (Arbib Rizzolatti 1996, Rizzolatti, Gadiga, Gallese Fogassi 1996, Jeannerod, Arbib, Rizzolatti Sakata 1995, Donald 1993) Thus, imitation potentially vertically integrates cognitive systems from the lowest level of perception and motor control to the highest levels of cognition. The notion of vertical integration ....
....the presence of mirror neurons in other species has not yet been tested extensively. We postulate that the function mirror neurons perform, the connection between observed and performed behavior, is the substrate for imitative capability (and possibly for communicative capabilities, as proposed by Arbib Rizzolatti (1996)) since simpler forms of mimicry are manifested by those animals. The neuroscientific evidence discussed so far has addressed the connection between sensory and motor systems. Psychophysical experiments addressing a cognitive aspect of this connection provide complementary evidence. Vogt (1995) ....

....hand movements. Recently, Altschuler et al. [2] describe person see, person do EEG wave activity suggesting that the mu wave responding to visual input of movement may be the human electrophysiologic analog to a population of neurons in area F5 of monkey premotor cortex . Arbib and Rizzolatti [3] even postulate the role of such an observation execution matching system as a gestural basis for the evolution of language. A common internal representation used to both interpret and generate movement would explain the lack of difference between fixation behavior in the imitation and ....

.... of motor commands (the forward model) or, inversely, through the extrapolation of motor commands from the observation of motor behavior (the inverse model) The representation of action supported by mirror neurons seems to be more a representation of action goals than of motor outputs (Arbib Rizzolatti, 1997). We must thus seek to establish how these goals may be combined to form M.A. Arbib et al. Neural Networks 13 (2000) 975 997 984 Fig. 5.
