V.S. Ramachandran: “The discovery of mirror neurons in the frontal lobes of

monkeys, and their potential relevance to human brain

evolution — which I speculate on in this essay — is the

single most important “unreported” (or at least,

unpublicized) story of the decade. I predict that mirror

neurons will do for psychology what DNA did for

biology: they will provide a unifying framework and help

explain a host of mental abilities that have hitherto

remained mysterious and inaccessible to experiments.” To my read, an intriguing but overreaching theory. Good to see they intend to empirically test some elements. [Edge]
