Connecting mirror neurons and forward models.

چکیده

Two recent developments in motor neuroscience are promising the extension of theoretical concepts from motor control towards cognitive processes, including human social interactions and understanding the intentions of others. The first of these is the discovery of what are now called mirror neurons, which code for both observed and executed actions. The second is the concept of internal models, and in particular recent proposals that forward and inverse models operate in paired modules. These two ideas will be briefly introduced, and a recent suggestion linking between the two processes of mirroring and modelling will be described which may underlie our abilities for imitating actions, for cooperation between two actors, and possibly for communication via gesture and language.

Mirror Neurons and (Inter)subjectivity: Typological Evidence from East Asian Languages

Language is primarily constituted by action and interaction based on sensorimotor information. This paper demonstrates the nature of subjectivity and intersubjectivity through the neural mechanism and typological evidence of sentence-final particles from East Asian languages and extends to the discussion of the relationship between them. I propose that intersubjecivity is a kind of embedded or ...

MIRRORS IN THE MIND. Rizzolatti, Giacomo; Fogassi, Leonardo; Gallese, Vittorio. Scientific American; Nov2006, Vol. 295(5), p54-61

The article offers a look at how a special class of brain cells reflects the outside world, revealing a new avenue for human understanding, connecting, and learning. The authors describe how their research group found that simple actions are understood through neurons that fire when the individual performs a simple task. The team found that when watching someone else perform the same act, the s...
