Phd thesis
My PhD projesct aims to provide a full comprehension of what is the mutual contribution of motor, perceptual and predictive abilities to motor interaction between people. The idea is that motor and neural similarities can mediate the predictive abilities of individuals. The progress of this proposition would identify kinematic and neural parameters, both in the action of a single individual and in the joint action of two people, that would allow predicting the outcome of human interactions by building a neurocomputational model. To pursue the above goals, my experimental steps will range from the analysis of a single individual to the study of dyadic interactions and will include the use motion capture systems, behavioural observations and EEG, on single subject and in hyperscanning.
