About this trial

Based on study literature, the investigators can say that our study aims to give an explanation not only from a behavioral point of view but also with respect to what are the neuronal mechanisms underlying our ability to perceive and analyze our own and others' actions. This is essential to fully understand the complexity of our social behaviors. The knowledge of these mechanisms has a high value and relevant implications for many research fields both within and outside the neurosciences. The project aims to study the neurobehavioral correlates of verbal and non-verbal communication. Through the use of non-invasive behavioral and neurophysiological techniques, the study intends to highlight the neurobehavioral markers that allow to quantify the temporal evolution of communication dynamics in healthy subjects.
