Scientists Say Everyone Can Read Minds - Yahoo! News: "Because the cells reflected the actions that the monkey observed in others, the neuroscientists named them 'mirror neurons.'
Later experiments confirmed the existence of mirror neurons in humans and revealed another surprise. In addition to mirroring actions, the cells reflected sensations and emotions.
'Mirror neurons suggest that we pretend to be in another person's mental shoes,' says Marco Iacoboni, a neuroscientist at the University of California, Los Angeles School of Medicine. 'In fact, with mirror neurons we do not have to pretend, we practically are in another person's mind.'"
