Summary

Study the mechanisms underlying action recognition and execution

Conditions

Epilepsy

Recruitment Status

RECRUITING

Detailed Description

Subjects will participate in a task where they have to either 1. Perform a movement 2. Observe an actor performing a movement There are three types of actions including different kinematics and grip types The goal is to compare the neural circuits activated by action execution versus action observation.
