Electrophysiological examination of embodiment in vision and action.

<24> This is the most important experimental result of the EPSRC (Cognitive Systems Foresight) project “VALUE”, of which Cangelosi is the PI and coordinator (with Dundee/Berlin as partners). This paper reports an extremely novel finding, providing for the first time brain imaging evidence that motor affordance cause early activation of the visual cortex. It has appeared in the highest impact journal accessible to the general readership of psychology, beyond the specific experimental psychology journals. This empirical work led to computational investigations on the neuro-robotics modelling of object affordance (cf. Caligiore et al., 2012, Psychological Research).
