Mirror neurons and the brain

September 11, 2011

Following up on my last post on How the brain mirrors other people, here is an excellent TED talk from V.S. Ramachandran on mirror neurons and what they have revealed, so far, about how human beings actually work.

This looks like turning into a mini-series on mirror neurons on this blog. Next up, I will be writing about mirror neurons and empathy and, after that, there will be a further article about psychopaths.

Thanks to Debbie Hearn for feeding me with the idea for this series.
