خرید و دانلود نسخه کامل کتاب Mirroring Brains: How we understand others from the inside

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 characterized 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, Rizzolatti and Sinigaglia 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’.

Mirroring  Brains provides a new interpretation of the property and function of  mirror neurons, allowing readers an insight into a fundamental principle  of brain function. Rizzolatti and Sinigaglia provide a rich survey of  the main neuronal and psychological findings concerning the mirror  mechanism, plus an extensive discussion of its potential role in social  cognition. It is an essential read for neuroscientists, psychologists,  philosophers, sociologists, and anyone who is interested in  understanding how we relate to each other.
