Fruitful social interactions require constant monitoring of one's own and others’ actions. We previously showed that macaques playing a video game in a controlled laboratory setting are able to perform joint actions (JA) successfully, when asked to control moving visual cursors displayed on a screen. Yet, while error monitoring is fundamental to optimize motor dyadic performances, it remains unexplored whether macaques are aware of acting together in this abstract context. To fill this gap, we analyzed spontaneous task-unrelated head movements during dyadic performance to investigate their awa
