The Cognition in Action (CIA) Lab aims to understand the link between action and perception, the mechanisms underlying action planning and observation, and the brain and psychological features distinctive to joint action. Our approach combines theoretical research with psychophysical and electrophysiological techniques.
CIA LAB is part of the PHILAB unit and its research is funded by the Department of Philosophy “Piero Martinetti” of the University of Milan under the Projects “Department of Excellence” 2018-2022 and 2023-2027, awarded by the Ministry of Education, University and Research (MIUR).
Led by the Cognition in Action Lab at the University of Milan, an international team investigated the brain mechanisms that enable coordination with others. The study shows how the brain integrates individual and social signals to make joint action possible.
