Rubber hand illusion induced by touching the face ipsilaterally to a deprived hand: evidence for plastic "somatotopic" remapping in tetraplegics (2014)
Journal Article
Scandola, M., Tidoni, E., Avesani, R., Brunelli, G., Aglioti, S. M., & Moro, V. (2014). Rubber hand illusion induced by touching the face ipsilaterally to a deprived hand: evidence for plastic "somatotopic" remapping in tetraplegics. Frontiers in human neuroscience, 8(JUNE), Article 404. https://doi.org/10.3389/fnhum.2014.00404

Background: Studies in animals and humans indicate that the interruption of body-brain connections following spinal cord injury (SCI) leads to plastic cerebral reorganization. Objective: To explore whether inducing the Rubber Hand Illusion (RHI) via...

Kinematics fingerprints of leader and follower role-taking during cooperative joint actions (2013)
Journal Article
Sacheli, L. M., Tidoni, E., Pavone, E. F., Aglioti, S. M., & Candidi, M. (2013). Kinematics fingerprints of leader and follower role-taking during cooperative joint actions. Experimental Brain Research, 226(4), 473-486. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00221-013-3459-7

Performing online complementary motor adjustments is quintessential to joint actions since it allows interacting people to coordinate efficiently and achieve a common goal. We sought to determine whether, during dyadic interactions, signaling strateg... Read More about Kinematics fingerprints of leader and follower role-taking during cooperative joint actions.

Action simulation plays a critical role in deceptive action recognition (2013)
Journal Article
Tidoni, E., Borgomaneri, S., di Pellegrino, G., & Avenanti, A. (2013). Action simulation plays a critical role in deceptive action recognition. Journal of Neuroscience, 33(2), 611-623. https://doi.org/10.1523/JNEUROSCI.2228-11.2013

The ability to infer deceptive intents from nonverbal behavior is critical for social interactions. By combining single-pulse and repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) in healthy humans, we provide both correlational and causative eviden...

And yet they act together: Interpersonal perception modulates visuo-motor interference and mutual adjustments during a joint-grasping task (2012)
Journal Article
Sacheli, L. M., Candidi, M., Pavone, E. F., Tidoni, E., & Aglioti, S. M. (2012). And yet they act together: Interpersonal perception modulates visuo-motor interference and mutual adjustments during a joint-grasping task. PLoS ONE, 7(11), e50223. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0050223

Prediction of “when” a partner will act and “what” he is going to do is crucial in joint-action contexts. However, studies on face-to-face interactions in which two people have to mutually adjust their movements in time and space are lacking. Moreove...

Simulating the future of actions in the human corticospinal system (2010)
Journal Article
Urgesi, C., Maieron, M., Avenanti, A., Tidoni, E., Fabbro, F., & Aglioti, S. M. (2010). Simulating the future of actions in the human corticospinal system. Cerebral Cortex, 20(11), 2511-2521. https://doi.org/10.1093/cercor/bhp292

Perception of the final position of a moving object or creature is distorted forward along its actual or implied motion path, thus enabling anticipation of its forthcoming position. In a previous research, we demonstrated that viewing static snapshot... Read More about Simulating the future of actions in the human corticospinal system.
