Natalie Sebanz investigates the cognitive mechanisms that allow people to perform joint action. Her work examines how individuals anticipate a partner's actions and coordinate their own actions with them.[ref]

In a 2003 experiment with Günther Knoblich and colleagues, two people divided the responses of a spatial stimulus-response compatibility task between them. Each person made one response. A compatibility effect appeared when the task was shared, resembling performance when a single person controlled both responses; it was absent when the one-response task was performed alone.[ref]
Representing others' actions: just like one's own? by Natalie Sebanz and others. Cognition 88, B11–B21; abstract, individual and group task conditions
The comparison made another person's role experimentally relevant while retaining the individual's response requirement. It supported the idea that a partner's available action can enter one's own task representation. This is a claim about measured performance under specified conditions; identifying its precise neural implementation requires additional evidence.
