Activation in the painful grasp condition thus reflects not just a discriminative but an integrative role in action observation, with sensitivity to the consequences emerging from actions toward painful objects.
"…don't get me wrong there was a lot of information in those two sessions, but I think we probably would've benefitted from a few more really" [Caroline] "…don't get me wrong there was a lot of information in those two sessions, but I think we probably would've benefitted from a few more really" [Caroline] The global theme of 'unexpected consequences' emerged from the data at multiple levels.
