Neuroscience - Cognition - Validation scientifique - CogniFit. The dancers brain. Results The visual areas of the brain showed activity. But the real differences were found in two areas related to movement - the pre-motor cortex and the visual-motor integration cortex. Both these ‘movement’ areas of the brain showed more activity when a skilled dancer saw movements he had been trained to perform, compared with watching movements he hadn't been trained to perform. It was as if the movement part of his brain was resonating with the moves he knew. Click here to hear Daniel Glaser talk about these results Other people (ie those who weren’t dancers) were also scanned.

This shows that the dancers combine what they saw with their own personal ‘motor repertoire’ – and this shows up differently in their brain scans. It also shows that by lying still and simply watching other people move, you can activate movement areas of the brain as if you were moving yourself! Your astounding ‘mirror neurons’ Early results suggest that humans have more extensive mirror systems than monkeys.
