According to the prevailing paradigm in social-cognitive neuroscience, the mental states of
individuals become shared when they adapt to each other in the pursuit of a shared goal …

Recent years have seen a rapid increase in research investigating the motor-related brain
activity that supports joint action. This research has employed a variety of joint action tasks …

The capacity to engage in collective intentionality is a key aspect of human sociality. Social
coordination might not be distinctive of humans—various nonhuman animals engage in …

Successful non-verbal social interaction between human beings requires dynamic and
efficient encoding of others′ gestures. Our study aimed at identifying neural markers of …

Do people engaged in joint action form action plans that specify joint outcomes at the group
level? EEG was recorded from pairs of participants who performed coordinated actions that …

Sensory attenuation of the auditory P2 event-related potential (ERP) has been shown to
differentiate the sensory consequences of one's own from others' action in joint action …

In this paper, we argue that the current focus on mirroring as the route to explaining the
development of action understanding is misleading and problematic. It facilitates a …

Cooperative action involves the simulation of actions and their co-representation by two or
more people. This requires the involvement of two complex brain systems: the mirror neuron …

There is growing interest within the field of social-cognitive neuroscience in the dynamics of
sensorimotor EEG rhythms during the observation of actions performed by others. However …

The ability to distinguish between one's own and others' actions is a requirement for
successful joint action. Such a distinction might be supported by dissociable motor activity …
