Non-anthropomorphic robots as social entities on a neurophysiological level
作者：
Highlights：
• Social interactions can establish non-anthropomorphic robots as social entities.
• Participants report compassion for an aggressively treated robot.
• Perceived aggressiveness towards a robot is negatively correlated with mu-activity.
• Participant's compassion for a robot is negatively correlated with mu-activity.
• Results support the theory that mind is attributed to victimized inanimate entities.
