Includes a new Afterword by the Author
What accounts for our remarkable ability to get inside another person's
head--to know what he or she is thinking and feeling? Marco Iacoboni, a
leading neuroscientist, explains the groundbreaking research into mirror
neurons, the smart cells in our brain that allow us to understand
others. From imitation to morality, from political affiliations to
consumer choices, mirror neurons are relevant to myriad aspects of
social cognition. Mirroring People is the first book for the general
reader on this revolutionary new science.
