In the early 1990s, researchers studying nonhuman primates discovered a population of brain cells they called "mirror neurons." These specialized brain cells fired when the animal performed an action and also when the animal observed another performing that same action. The discovery of mirror neurons seemed to support the idea that we understand the actions of others by internally simulating…
