Thesis
Page, M. L. (2022). The effect of acute itch on the motor evoked potential : an investigation using transcranial magnetic brain stimulation. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4270500

research into the functioning of the brain during itch has revealed significant activity in the motor cortex, however, the role of the motor cortex during itch is not completely known. It is theorised to be involved in the planning of scratching move...

Human but not robotic gaze facilitates action prediction (2022)
Journal Article
Tidoni, E., Holle, H., Scandola, M., Schindler, I., Hill, L., & Cross, E. S. (2022). Human but not robotic gaze facilitates action prediction. iScience, 25(6), Article 104462. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.isci.2022.104462

Do people ascribe intentions to humanoid robots as they would to humans or non-human-like animated objects? In six experiments, we compared people's ability to extract non-mentalistic (i.e., where an agent is looking) and mentalistic (i.e., what an a...

Brain Dynamics of Action Monitoring in Higher-Order Motor Control Disorders: The Case of Apraxia (2022)
Journal Article
Spinelli, G., Pezzetta, R., Canzano, L., Tidoni, E., & Aglioti, S. M. (2022). Brain Dynamics of Action Monitoring in Higher-Order Motor Control Disorders: The Case of Apraxia. eNeuro, 9(2), Article 0334-20.2021. https://doi.org/10.1523/ENEURO.0334-20.2021

Limb apraxia (LA) refers to a high-order motor disorder characterized by the inability to reproduce transitive actions on commands or after observation. Studies demonstrate that action observation and action execution activate the same networks in th...
