The way we reach for objects, manipulate them, and hand them to others provides a rich window into our mental states. Our actions do not merely implement motor plans; they carry information about ongoing cognitive and decision processes: what we want and how much we want it, what we fear, what we expect, and what we plan to do next. In this talk, I will present a framework for determining whether and how individuals access this infor-mation to predict others’ behaviour.
