Abstract
Abstract This chapter proposes that shared action representations provide the basic biological mechanism for social interaction. It argues that shared representations are the primary means by which we align ourselves with others, paving the road for a range of social and motor processes, including action understanding, imitation, and empathy. It also argues that the sense of agency—the awareness of oneself as an agent who is the initiator of actions, desire, thoughts, and feelings—plays an essential role in social interaction.
