Project

The multi-actor mirror neuron system: Can the human brain represent multiple observed actions simultaneously?

Research has shown that the behavior of others is represented in the motor cortex of the observer. However, the research hitherto has focused exclusively on representing the actions of a single individual. In the current project, we will investigate whether individuals are also capable of representing the actions of multiple others simultaneously in their motor system.
