Shared neural representations of barriers to agents’ actions and objects’ motions

2026-06-05

Abstract excerpt

<p>In the human brain, distinct regions preferentially respond to the actions and interactions of animate agents, and the motions and interactions of inanimate objects. Yet, evidence across the cognitive sciences suggests that we process animate agents fundamentally as physical bodies (Liu et al., 2025). This suggestion predicts that processing of agents and processing of objects depend in part on common neural su...
