Accumulating neuropsychological, electrophysiological and behavioural evidence suggests
that the neural substrates of visual perception may be quite distinct from those underlying …

Traditional approaches to human information processing tend to deal with perception and
action planning in isolation, so that an adequate account of the perception-action interface is …

In area F5 of the monkey premotor cortex there are neurons that discharge both when the
monkey performs an action and when he observes a similar action made by another monkey …

We recorded electrical activity from 532 neurons in the rostral part of inferior area 6 (area F5)
of two macaque monkeys. Previous data had shown that neurons of this area discharge …

The book you are about to read is about research that asks questions like" How do our
senses operate?"" What is the connection between nervous system activity and perception?" …

First published in 1995, The Visual Brain in Action remains a seminal publication in the
cognitive sciences. It presents a model for understanding the visual processing underlying …

This paper concerns how motor actions are neurally represented and coded. Action
planning and motor preparation can be studied using a specific type of representational …

The hand endows us with unparalleled precision and versatility in our interactions with
objects, from mundane activities such as gras** to extraordinary ones such as virtuoso …

Emotions and actions are powerfully contagious; when we see someone laugh, cry, show
disgust, or experience pain, in some sense, we share that emotion. When we see someone …

Gras** requires coding of the object's intrinsic properties (size and shape), and the
transformation of these properties into a pattern of distal (finger and wrist) movements …
