Mirrors in the brain. On the mechanisms of synergy and empathy [Russian]

By Giacomo Rizzolatti

Book neurophysiologist Giacomo Ritstsolatti, written in collaboration with the philosopher Corrado Sinigaglia, devoted to the problem, the study of which Ritstsolatti is considered one of the world's leading experts. This is the problem of so-called "mirror neurons" in the human brain, which play a special role in the implementation of simple imitative motor acts, as well as in social cognition and behavior. In the book, the reader will find information on the latest studies of brain mechanisms that lie behind the understanding of targeted actions of another person, the development of language, emotion recognition, empathy and other processes, the flow of which is inextricably linked with the work of the mirror neuron system. The book is addressed to specialists in different fields of cognitive science: neuroscientists, linguists, psychologists, philosophers, anthropologists, as well as to all readers interested in modern cognitive research, including in the framework of a new research area, known as "social neuroscience".
