Humans respond faster to biological as compared with non-biological movements. The faster response has been attributed to an activation of the human mirror neuron system (MNS), which is thought to match the observation and the execution of actions. However, it is unclear, which cortical areas are responsible for this behavioural advantage and little is known about the timing of activations. Using whole-head magnetoencephalography (MEG) we recorded neuronal responses to single biological finger movements and non-biological dot movements while the subjects were required to perform an imitation task or an observation task, respectively. Previous imaging studies on the human MNS suggested that activation in response to biological movements woul...
