Neural circuits for action perception: An integrative approach

项目摘要 社会交往-我们日常生活中无处不在和必不可少的方面-依赖于正确的 对他人行为的感知。实验证据表明， 其他人的行为受到一个由运动皮层代表的区域组成的网络的影响， 重要的枢纽。这个运动中枢在动作知觉中的确切作用在很大程度上仍然是未知的。 在这个建议中，我们将评估潜在的机制，通过侵入性的行动知觉， 人类颅内场电位信号的记录和计算分析方法。 这种方法将使我们能够研究运动过程在动作知觉中的作用， 时空精确度

Project summary Social interactions – a ubiquitous and essential aspect of our everyday life – rely on the correct perception of the actions of others. Experimental evidence suggests that the ability to interpret others’ actions is subserved by a network of areas of which motor cortex represents an important hub. The precise role of this motor hub in action perception is still largely unknown. In this proposal, we will assess the mechanisms underlying action perception through invasive recordings of intracranial field potential signals in humans and computational analyses methods. This approach will allow us to study the role of motor processes in action perception with high spatiotemporal accuracy.
