At the ‘roots’ of motor intentions
Research in cognitive science has revealed that intentions become “visible” in the surface flow of agents’ motion. An example is that humans adopt different kinematics when reaching for an object to either displace it (i.e., individual intentions) or interact with a partner (i.e., social intentions). This phenomenon has been shown in humans and other animal species, but no studies have investigated whether it extends to the “green” kingdom. ROOMors aims at investigating for the first time motor intentions in plants. It capitalizes on recent findings of my research group that make this a timely and tractable issue. By focusing on the kinematic signatures characterizing the movement of…
