Online resources: Summary: 'Mirroring Brains' combines neuroscience, psychology and philosophy to provide a comprehensive account of one of the most intriguing discoveries of the last 30 years - the discovery of mirror neurons. These neurons are characterised by firing both when someone performs an action, and also when they observe the same action being performed by others. Whereas it was widely regarded as characteristic of only a small subset of neurons, recent discoveries have shown that the mirror property is a fundamental principle of the functioning of the whole brain. Exploring this discovery, the authors explain how we are able to immediately understand others' actions and emotions, providing a deeper understanding of how we relate to each other and introducing the idea of 'understanding from the inside'. An essential read for neuroscientists, psychologists, philosophers and sociologists.--PPN: PPN: 1882634314Package identifier: Produktsigel: ZDB-4-NLEBK | BSZ-4-NLEBK-KAUB
