The spatiotemporal neural dynamics of action-related features underlying action recognition.

ABSTRACT: The lateral occipitotemporal cortex (LOTC) has been suggested to host action representations that are thought to contribute to accessing meaning of observed actions. In line with this proposal, previous studies have shown spatially overlapping representations of various action-related features including objects, scenes, social properties, and kinematics, as well as abstract representations pertaining to action semantics. Less is known, however, about the way in which these features are integrated during action recognition. To address this question, we aimed to examine the temporal order in which different action-related features emerge in the EEG signal using EEG-based representational similarity analysis (RSA). Additionally, to investigate the spatiotemporal characteristics of these neura
