Mirror Neurons and the Neural Exploitation Hypothesis: From Embodied Simulation to Social Cognition

Abstract

The relevance of the discovery of mirror neurons i; embodied simulation; can ground within a unitary neurophysiological exp; to explain how key aspects of human social cogniti; integration. It is proposed that these mechanisms ; while retaining their original functions as well. ; social cognition and language can be linked to the to the experiential domain of action.
