	that discharge both during the execution of hand actions and during
	the observation of the same actions made by others (mirror neurons).
	In the present study, we show that a subset of mirror neurons becomes
	active during action presentation and also when the final part of
	the action, crucial in triggering the response in full vision, is
	hidden and can therefore only be inferred. This implies that the
	motor representation of an action performed by others can be internally
	generated in the observer's premotor cortex, even when a visual description
	of the action is lacking. The present findings support the hypothesis
	that mirror neuron activation could be at the basis of action recognition.},

	among these complex stimuli can be represented using a low number
	of dimensions. Using psychophysical measurements and single-cell
	recordings in macaque inferotemporal (IT) cortex, we found an agreement
	between low-dimensional parametric configurations of shapes and the
	representation of shape similarity at the behavioral and neuronal
	level. The shape configurations, computed from both the perceived
	and neuron-based similarities, revealed a low number of dimensions
	and contained the same stimulus order as the parametric configurations.
	However, at a metric level, the behavioral and neural representations
	deviated consistently from the parametric configurations. These findings
	suggest an ordinally faithful but metrically biased representation
	of shape similarity in IT.},

	abstract = {The emergence of social behaviors early in life is likely crucial
	for the development of mother-infant relationships. Some of these
	behaviors, such as the capacity of neonates to imitate adult facial
	movements, were previously thought to be limited to humans and perhaps
	the ape lineage. Here we report the behavioral responses of infant
	rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta) to the following human facial and
	hand gestures: lip smacking, tongue protrusion, mouth opening, hand
	opening, and opening and closing of eyes (control condition). In
	the third day of life, infant macaques imitate lip smacking and tongue
	protrusion. On the first day of life, the model's mouth openings
	elicited a similar matched behavior (lip smacking) in the infants.
	These imitative responses are present at an early stage of development,
	but they are apparently confined to a narrow temporal window. Because
	lip smacking is a core gesture in face-to-face interactions in macaques,
	neonatal imitation may serve to tune infants' affiliative responses
	to the social world. Our findings provide a quantitative description
	of neonatal imitation in a nonhuman primate species and suggest that
	these imitative capacities, contrary to what was previously thought,
	are not unique to the ape and human lineage. We suggest that their
	evolutionary origins may be traced to affiliative gestures with communicative
	functions.},
