Mirror neurons and humanity’s dark side

mirror neurons and observational learning

in past, the relationship between traditional learning theories and neurophysiological theories wasn’t a close relationship. recently, new findings in neurological sciences showed relatively simple neuron mechanisms for somewhat complicated learning events, for example observational learning, one of which is mirror neurons. these neurons show that how the brain registers the activity observed a...

Mirror Dark Matter

There appear to be three challenges that any theory of dark matter must face: (i) why is ΩDM of the same order as ΩBaryons ? (ii) what are the near solar mass objects (∼ 0.5M⊙) observed by the MACHO microlensing project ? and (iii) understanding the shallow core density profile of the halos of dwarf as well as low surface brightness galaxies. The popular cold dark matter candidates, the SUSY LS...

Language and mirror neurons

Communication is a process of exchanging information via a common system. There are many natural ways in which individuals may communicate. Besides linguistic communication, which is at the core of human communication, humans communicate using arm gestures, body postures, facial expressions, eye contact, and head and body movements. Communication may be intentional and nonintentional. In both c...
