Neural and Behavioural Bases of Action Simulation
Sponsor: Université Catholique de Louvain
Summary
The goal of this interventional study is to understand the neural and behavioural bases of action simulation and its links with action execution in healthy volunteers. Hypotheses: Action simulation recruits neural networks that are largely similar to those activated by action execution, with some differences to avoid executing a movement while observing/imagining it. Participants will be tested with TMS while doing motor imagery or action observation.
