About

Study the mechanisms underlying action recognition and execution

Full description

Subjects will participate in a task where they have to either

1. Perform a movement
2. Observe an actor performing a movement There are three types of actions including different kinematics and grip types The goal is to compare the neural circuits activated by action execution versus action observation.
