Projectomschrijving

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.
