The human mirror system and the perception of others' actions

这项研究将提供更多关于人类镜子系统如何运作来感知行为的理解，这是理解自闭症和失用症等行为感知障碍的关键的第一步。该研究计划还将利用先进的脑成像方法，为建设国家认知神经科学研究能力做出重大贡献。该研究员积极鼓励和指导年轻科学家，组织高级研讨会，将世界各地的脑成像研究人员带到澳大利亚，并建立基于高场脑成像的国际合作。未来奖学金将大大加强这些活动，建设能力，并提高澳大利亚在认知神经科学方面的声誉。

This research will provide greater understanding of how the human mirror system operates for the perception of actions, a crucial first-step toward understanding disorders of action perception such as autism and apraxia. The research program will also contribute greatly to building national capacity in cognitive neuroscience research, using advanced brain imaging methods. The fellow actively encourages and mentors young scientists, organises advanced workshops that bring brain imaging researchers around the world to Australia, and builds international collaborations based around high-field brain imaging. The Future Fellowship will substantially enhance these activities, building capacity and enhancing Australia's reputation in cognitive neurosciences.
