Watanabe R, Kim Y, Kuruma H, Takahashi H
Neuroimage . 2022 Oct; 264:119710. PMID: 36283544
Many people have difficulty empathizing with others who have dissimilar characteristics, such as physical disabilities. We hypothesized that people with no disabilities imitating the movements of individuals with disabilities could...

Sakai K, Goto K, Watanabe R, Tanabe J, Amimoto K, Kumai K, et al.
Brain Cogn . 2020 Oct; 146:105632. PMID: 33129054
Visual-motor illusion (VMI) is to evoke a kinesthetic sensation by viewing images of oneself performing physical exercise while the body is at rest. Previous studies demonstrated that VMI activates the...

Watanabe R, Kim Y, Kikuchi Y
Biol Psychol . 2020 Oct; 157:107972. PMID: 33091449
We investigated whether observation of hand movements of people with hemiplegia by healthy individuals from the first-person perspective (FPP), compared to that from the third-person perspective (TPP), enables better understanding...

Watanabe R, Katsuyama N, Usui N, Taira M
Neuroimage Clin . 2019 May; 23:101845. PMID: 31075556
Physical therapists (PTs) are required to obtain an accurate understanding of the physical and mental states of their patients through observational assessment. To perform comprehensive observational assessments of patients' movements,...

Watanabe R, Higuchi T, Kikuchi Y, Taira M
Hum Brain Mapp . 2017 Sep; 38(12):6218-6229. PMID: 28929542
Imitative stimuli presented from a first-person perspective (FPP) produce stronger visuomotor effects than those presented from a third-person perspective (TPP) due to the relatively greater response of the mirror neuron...

Watanabe R, Higuchi T
Front Psychol . 2016 Jun; 7:701. PMID: 27242614
Visuomotor information may be better conveyed through a first-person perspective than through a third-person perspective. However, few reports have shown a clear behavioral advantage of the first-person perspective because of...

Watanabe R, Higuchi T, Kikuchi Y
Exp Brain Res . 2013 May; 228(2):161-71. PMID: 23660743
Imitation behavior and accompanying brain activity can be affected by the perspective of the model adopted. The present study was designed to understand the effect of a model's perspective in...

Neurosci Lett . 2011 Aug; 503(2):100-4. PMID: 21871533
The present study examined the effects of the perspective of movement presented for imitation in healthy volunteers, using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to assess the magnitude and distribution of...
