Revealing Behavioural Synchronization in Humans and Other Animals : Why Individuals Mirror Others by Angélique Lamontagne, Florence Gaunet - 1st ed. 2023 - 1 recurso en línea

1. Introduction of behavioural synchronization -- 2. Visuomotor approach of behavioural synchronization -- 3. Neurophysiological and cognitive bases of behavioural synchronization -- 4. Cognitive properties of behavioural synchronization -- 5. Social functions of mirror neurons, motor resonance and motor contagion -- 6. Social modulators of behavioural synchronization -- 7. Conclusion: Behavioural synchronization, a pillar of social cognition.

This book presents a thorough and up-to-date review of the scientific literature on behavioural synchronization and its underlying neurocognitive and neurophysiological processes, from the neuronal to the interindividual and group scale. This multi-disciplinary and multi-scale approach makes this book of interest to scientists and graduate students for both theoretical issues as well practical issues such as mobilizing animals and humans for group / mass actions (e.g. for climate change, diabetes, leading animals, etc.).
