Significance Understanding others’ intentions via observing their actions is critical for effective social coping and survival. There is evidence that visual processing of movements and objects in context involves segregated dorsal and ventral pathways, which are tuned to distinct spatial frequencies (low and high, respectively). While this frequency tuning has been widely studied in object, face, and scene processing, little is known about its role in the recognition of naturalistic human actions. Here, we provide initial evidence for the contribution of dorsal and ventral pathways to action processing, with low and high spatial frequencies differentially encoding global grip kinematics and local object features. These preliminary findings inform current models on action comprehension, suggesting that frequency preferences can modulate this process.
