About

Mirror neurons is a concept within cognitive neuroscience and neurophysiology focusing on a class of visuomotor neurons that discharge both when an individual performs a specific action and when observing another individual performing the same or a similar action. This research investigates the neural substrates underlying action understanding, imitation learning, and aspects of social cognition, proposing a potential mechanism for interpreting the intentions and actions of others.
