It has been suggested that the Rorschach human movement (M) response could be associated with an embodied simulation mechanism mediated by the mirror neuron system (MNS). To date, evidence for this hypothesis comes from two electroencephalogram studies and one repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation study. To provide additional data on this topic, the Rorschach was administered during fMRI to a sample of 26 healthy adult volunteers. Activity in MNS-related brain areas temporally associated with M responses was compared with such activity for other, non-M Rorschach responses. Data analyses focused on MNS regions of interest identified by Neurosynth, a web-based platform for large scale, automated meta-analysis of fMRI data. Consistent with the hypothesis that M responses involve embodied simulation and MNS activity, univariate region of interest analyses showed that production of M responses associated with significantly greater activity in MNS-related brain areas when compared with non-M Rorschach responses. This finding is consistent with the traditional interpretation of the M code.
有人认为罗夏墨迹测验中的人类动作（M）反应可能与镜像神经元系统（MNS）介导的具身模拟机制有关。迄今为止，这一假设的证据来自两项脑电图研究和一项重复经颅磁刺激研究。为了提供关于这一主题的更多数据，对 26 名健康成年志愿者进行了 fMRI 下的罗夏测验。与其他非 M 罗夏反应相比，比较了与 M 反应在时间上相关的 MNS 相关脑区的活动。数据分析集中在由 Neurosynth 确定的 MNS 感兴趣区域，Neurosynth 是一个用于 fMRI 数据大规模自动化元分析的基于网络的平台。与 M 反应涉及具身模拟和 MNS 活动的假设一致，单变量感兴趣区域分析显示，与非 M 罗夏反应相比，M 反应的产生与 MNS 相关脑区的活动显著增加相关。这一发现与 M 编码的传统解释一致。
