AB  - Recently, it has been shown that the medial prefrontal cortex (MPFC) is involved 
      in error execution as well as error observation. Based on this finding, it has 
      been argued that recognizing each other's mistakes might rely on motor 
      simulation. In the current functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) study, we 
      directly tested this hypothesis by investigating whether medial prefrontal 
      activity in error observation is restricted to situations that enable simulation. 
      To this aim, we compared brain activity related to the observation of errors that 
      can be simulated (human errors) with brain activity related to errors that cannot 
      be simulated (machine errors). We show that medial prefrontal activity is not 
      only restricted to the observation of human errors but also occurs when observing 
      errors of a machine. In addition, our data indicate that the MPFC reflects a 
      domain general mechanism of monitoring violations of expectancies.
