On art, science and the brain. Www.jellyfishjelly.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/Cup-Dragon.pdf. Mirror Neurons and Motor Memory Formation. Mirror neurons have been hailed by scientists as the most significant finding in neurology in the past decade, the key to understanding the secrets of human interaction and learning, and as significant to psychology as DNA is to biology.
Mirror neurons are a newly-discovered structure of the brain responsible for the firing of neurons during both physical movement and the observation of physical movement. It is these firings during observation of movements that has scientists excited about their relation to learning and interaction. Mary Helen Immordino-Yang and Sarah-Jayne Blakemore. Mirror Neurons.
