| summary | Being able to understand other people’s actions is fundamental for social interactions, and for the selection and preparation of our own actions.A network of regions, referred to as the ‘action observation network’,is known to be recruited during the observation of actions. However, the precise division of labour between the different nodes of this network isdebated. In this talk.I will present a number of studies using multivariate pattern analysis (MVPA) and representational similarity analysis (RSA) of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and magnetoencephalography (MEG) data thataddressed this question.Theresults highlight the roleof the lateral occipitotemporal cortex (LOTC), a region that is known to be recruited duringa variety of different tasks, ranging from the perception of basic and biological motion to the perception of body parts, tools, and the processing of action-related knowledge.I will discuss theseresults in light ofthe ongoing debateon the neural basis of action recognition and point out possible future directions. http://www.alphamailing.fr/files/8/Angelika_Lingnau_Abstract_.pdf |
