      abstract     = {Action recognition involves not only the readout of body
                      movements and involved objects but also the integration of
                      contextual information, e.g. the environment in which an
                      action takes place. Notably, inferring superordinate goals
                      and generating predictions about forthcoming action steps
                      should benefit from screening the actor's immediate
                      environment, in particular objects located in the actor's
                      peripersonal space and thus potentially used in following
                      action steps. Critically, if such contextual objects (COs)
                      afford actions that are semantically related to the observed
                      action, they may trigger or facilitate the inference of
                      goals and the prediction of following actions.This fMRI
                      study investigated the neural mechanisms underlying the
                      integration of COs in semantic and spatial relation to
                      observed actions. Specifically, we tested the hypothesis
                      that the inferior frontal gyrus (IFG) subserves this
                      integration. Participants observed action videos in which
                      COs and observed actions had common overarching goals or not
                      (goal affinity) and varied in their location relative to the
                      actor.High goal affinity increased bilateral activity in
                      action observation network nodes, i.e. the occipitotemporal
                      cortex and the intraparietal sulcus, but also in the
                      precuneus and middle frontal gyri. This finding suggests
                      that the semantic relation between COs and actions is
                      considered during action observation and triggers (rather
                      than facilitates) processes beyond those usually involved in
                      action observation. Moreover, COs with high goal affinity
                      located close to the actor's dominant hand additionally
                      engaged bilateral IFG, corroborating the view that IFG is
                      critically involved in the integration of action steps under
                      a common overarching goal.},
