# Neural circuits for action perception: An integrative approach

> **NIH NIH R21** · BOSTON CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL · 2022 · $214,613

## Abstract

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.
