Neural basis of understanding communicative actions: changes associated with knowing the actor’s intention and the meanings of the actions

People can communicate by using hand actions, e.g., signs. Understanding communicative actions requires that the observer knows that the actor has an intention to communicate and the meanings of the actions. Here, we investigated how this prior knowledge affects processing of observed actions. We us...
