Excerpt

When we observe another person perform an action, like cracking an egg or kicking a ball, we are able to anticipate quite precisely the future course of the observed action. This ability is important in understanding others and in coordinating our actions with them, whether baking a cake together or playing football. This special issue includes 14 papers examining the cognitive and brain mechanisms underlying the ability to predict and simulate other people’s actions. …
