Towards the optimal protocol for investigation of the mirror neuron system

The study of mirror neurons (MN) has a long way since its discovery on monkeys and later on humans. However, in literature there are inconsistencies on the ways stimuli are presented and on the time of presentation. Which is the best way to present motor movement stimuli? Is it possible to estimate when the mirror neurons effect take place by using Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation at specific time windows? In the current study we test different ways of stimuli presentation (photo and video of hand movements) and brain stimulation (e.g. TMS) delivered on the dominant primary motor cortex (M1) at different time windows. Our aim is to solve this void still present on the field and create a standardized protocol that will generate the strongest mirror neurons response in order to have the way for future studies on the field.
