How do we understand action concepts?

What is it about?

Here we used new neuroimaging techniques to see which brain regions are doing the same type of processing when seeing an action word (like "skiing") and an action picture. Basically, we asked, what parts of the brain are involved in processing the *idea* of skiing (or another action), on a conceptual level, aside from the format in which you see the action. We found a wide brain network which is involved in conceptual action processing.
