good question! My guess is that handedness has similar effects on the lateralization effects we observe as for tool knowledge (usually left-lateralized) and perhaps language per se. Note that left-handers show generally less strong lateralization effects. Right-left writers..what 's your prediction?

New paper!
In this study, we identify a previously unreported level of representation in the action recognition hierarchy that is right-lateralized, perceptually highly invariant but not conceptual, and encodes the coarse structure of the effect induced by an action.

Decoding the physics of observed actions in the human brain
Inferior parietal and lateral occipitotemporal cortex encode the effects of actions at an abstract level of representation, independently of the body movements that induce them.

How do our brains generate predictive models of unfolding events? We're seeking for a *postdoc* to address this question in my lab:
