"The discovery of mirror neurons and of a mirror neuron system in the human brain raises the interesting possibility that "mirroring" may constitute novel instances of mental stimulation. It also provides the basis for unique processes such as "mindreading," the ability to make …
The discovery of mirror neurons and of a mirror neuron system in the human brain raises the interesting possibility that 'mirroring' may constitute novel instances of mental simulation. This book discusses the relevance of mirroring neural systems in cognition.
Within the last two decades, the field of cognitive neuroscience has begun to thrive, with technological advances that non-invasively measure human brain activity. This is the first book to provide a comprehensive and up-to-date treatment on the cognitive neuroscience of memory.…
