The Role of the Motor System in Action Perception
Topic Information
Dear Colleagues,
An increasing amount of evidence suggests that the activation of the motor system during perception can trigger higher-order social cognitive processes, such as reading intentions or understanding the actions and emotional states of others. The application of current neuroscientific perspectives to perceptuo-motor codes can help to explain the mechanisms that underlie central nervous system disorders that can block or alter multisensory and motor processing. To provide an interdisciplinary clinical framework for the unresolved question of how the human brain responds to the loss of multisensory and motor abilities and the implications for cognition and emotions, we welcome submissions that include behavioural, neuroanatomical, and neurophysiological studies as well as clinical and neuropsychological evidence. This knowledge is crucial for the development of novel therapies to treat perceptual-, movement-, and body-related disorders.
