Action observation network: domain-specific or domain-general?

Trends Cogn Sci. 2023 Sep 2:S1364-6613(23)00208-5. doi: 10.1016/j.tics.2023.08.012. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe action observation network (AON) has traditionally been thought to be dedicated to recognizing animate actions. A recent study by Karakose-Akbiyik et al. invites rethinking this assumption by demonstrating that the AON contains a shared neural code for general events, regardless of whether those events involve animate or inanimate entities.PMID:37666724 | DOI:10.1016/j.tics.2023.08.012
