Understanding effects of observing affordance-driven action during motor imagery through EEG analysis.

The aim of this paper is to investigate the impact of observing affordance-driven action during motor imagery. Affordance-driven action refers to actions that are initiated based on the properties of objects and the possibilities they offer for interaction. Action observation (AO) and motor imagery (MI) are two forms of motor simulation that can influence motor responses.

Neural Correlates of Motor Imagery during Action Observation in Affordance-based Actions: Preliminary Results.

Object affordance, a characterization of the different functionalities of an object, refers to an object's numerous possibilities of interaction. It has a significant part to play in priming motoric actions which depends on the actor's spontaneous neurological behaviour. Action Observation (AO) and Motor Imagery (MI) also lead to the stimulation of motor system.
