An important function of co-representation seems to lie in the anticipation of others' upcoming actions, which is essential for one's own action planning, as it enables the rapid selection of an appropriate response. We utilized measures of lateralized motor activation, the lateralized readiness potential (LRP), in a task sharing paradigm to address the questions (1) whether the generation of a co-representation involves motor activity in the non-acting person when it is other agent's turn to respond, and (2) whether co-representation of the other's task share is generated from one's own egocentric perspective or from the perspective of the actor (allocentric). Results showed that although it was the other agent's turn to respond, the motor system of the non-acting person was activated prior to the other's response. Furthermore, motor activity was based on egocentric spatial properties. The findings support the tight functional coupling between one's own actions and actions produced by others, suggesting that the involvement of the motor system is crucial for social interaction.
