[HTML][HTML] Enhancing social ability by stimulating right temporoparietal junction
The temporoparietal junction (TPJ) is a key node within the "social brain" [1]. Several studies
suggest that the TPJ controls representations of the self or another individual across a …

Mirror-touch synesthesia is linked with empathy
MJ Banissy, J Ward - Nature neuroscience, 2007 - nature.com
Watching another person being touched activates a similar neural circuit to actual touch and,
for some people with 'mirror-touch' synesthesia, can produce a felt tactile sensation on their …

[HTML][HTML] Inter-individual differences in empathy are reflected in human brain structure
Empathy is a multi-faceted concept consisting of our ability not only to share emotions but
also to exert cognitive control and perspective taking in our interactions with others. Here we …

Prevalence, characteristics and a neurocognitive model of mirror-touch synaesthesia
In so-called ‘mirror-touch synaesthesia’, observing touch to another person induces a subjective
tactile sensation on the synaesthete’s own body. It has been suggested that this type of …

Enhanced sensory perception in synaesthesia
Previous findings imply that synaesthetic experience may have consequences for sensory
processing of stimuli that do not themselves trigger synaesthesia. For example, synaesthetes …
