Report Thanks to the PR.INT funding of the RUB Research School, I was able to visit Institut Jean Nicod in Paris, France. During this research stay, I was able to work closely with Elisabeth Pacherie and her group, as well as with Frédérique de Vignemont. They provided me with great insights and helpful feedback on my research. During my stay, I especially focused on the nature of motor representations, their role in intentional bodily action, and their connection to the representation of the body for action, as well as the possibility and nature of motor schemas.
