Motor and cognitive functions of the monkey premotor cortex during free social interactions (WIRELESS)

Start date: Oct 1, 2016, End date: Sep 30, 2021,

A number of studies demonstrated that the primates’ premotor cortex (PM) plays a crucial role not only in organizing movement, but also in perceptual and socio-cognitive functions. However, these studies have been carried out in laboratory settings, which deeply limit the possibility to understand the neural mechanisms underlying natural behaviours. To solve this problem, I propose a new approach ...
