Abstract : COVER ILLUSTRATION Within premotor and parietal nodes of the action observation network, it is possible to decode activity patterns resulting from the observation of point‐light displays and fully visible grasping actions, the latter conveying only kinematic information. The use of point‐light displays stimuli allows us to assess which areas are able to distinguish kinematic from pictorial information of the observed action. The illustration shows the multivariate pattern distribution in the action observation areas decoding between the two kinds of stimuli. Cold colors show voxels decoding with high decoding accuracy of point light displays grasping, while warm colors represent voxels decoding fully visible grasping.
