先前的研究表明，在表演和观察一个动作时，一些相同的运动区域都会被激活。在这里，我们在人类受试者中证明，这种运动活动也发生在观察别人的行动之前。这表明，仅仅知道即将到来的运动就足以激发自己的运动系统，使人们能够预测，而不是对他人的行动做出反应。
Previous research has shown that some of the same motor regions are activated both when performing and when observing a movement. Here we demonstrate in human subjects that such motor activity also occurs prior to observing someone else's action. This suggests that the mere knowledge of an upcoming movement is sufficient to excite one's own motor system, enabling people to anticipate, rather than react to, others' actions.
