Caroline Catmur studies action observation and sensorimotor learning. Her counter-mirror training study changed the pairing between seen actions and performed movements, then measured muscle-specific responses to observing an action. Changing the trained mapping changed the motor response pattern, supporting a contribution of experience to the observation-action relationship rather than establishing an unmodifiable reflex. [ref]
