Figure 7.

Neural activity of a visual neuron of the convergence type. This neuron responded both to action observation (A–C) and to peripersonal stimuli (D and E). In the 3 upper panels, neural spikes are aligned with 3 different timings: the onset of reaching (A), touching the food (B), and lifting the food (C). Tonic responses were observed during reaching. Spike discharges increased after the onset of reaching and decreased before lifting the food. This neuron responded to the experimenter's hand approaching both the monkey's face (D) and the monkey's contralateral hand (E). Bin width = 100 ms. Other conventions are as in Figure 4.
