The Myth of Mirror Neurons 2024 pdf epub mobi 电子书
透过过本书,能够获得大量神经科学的知识和实验思路,也对镜像神经元的前世今生有了系统的了解,虽然得出的结论是单一的神经元无法构筑人类复杂的共情思维,但也足以看到,共情这一人类特有的元素在整个人类社会发展过程中所起到的重要作用,试想如果人类没有共情,不懂得感同...
评分我第一次接触到镜像神经元这个名词是在百度百科上,里面有关于镜像神经元的历史沿革。当时我就联想到了孟子的一个东西,就是“恻隐之心,人皆有之”这个命题。我想镜像神经元的发现不就是一个很好的生物学注脚。于是我和很多人聊天时都会讲一讲那个“恒河猴”的实验,其中不乏...

An essential reconsideration of one of the most far-reaching theories in modern neuroscience and psychology.
In 1992, a group of neuroscientists from Parma, Italy, reported a new class of brain cells discovered in the motor cortex of the macaque monkey. These cells, later dubbed mirror neurons, responded equally well during the monkey’s own motor actions, such as grabbing an object, and while the monkey watched someone else perform similar motor actions. Researchers speculated that the neurons allowed the monkey to understand others by simulating their actions in its own brain.
Mirror neurons soon jumped species and took human neuroscience and psychology by storm. In the late 1990s theorists showed how the cells provided an elegantly simple new way to explain the evolution of language, the development of human empathy, and the neural foundation of autism. In the years that followed, a stream of scientific studies implicated mirror neurons in everything from schizophrenia and drug abuse to sexual orientation and contagious yawning.
In The Myth of Mirror Neurons, neuroscientist Gregory Hickok reexamines the mirror neuron story and finds that it is built on a tenuous foundation—a pair of codependent assumptions about mirror neuron activity and human understanding. Drawing on a broad range of observations from work on animal behavior, modern neuroimaging, neurological disorders, and more, Hickok argues that the foundational assumptions fall flat in light of the facts. He then explores alternative explanations of mirror neuron function while illuminating crucial questions about human cognition and brain function: Why do humans imitate so prodigiously? How different are the left and right hemispheres of the brain? Why do we have two visual systems? Do we need to be able to talk to understand speech? What’s going wrong in autism? Can humans read minds?
The Myth of Mirror Neurons not only delivers an instructive tale about the course of scientific progress—from discovery to theory to revision—but also provides deep insights into the organization and function of the human brain and the nature of communication and cognition.
Being based on the principle that correlation does not necessarily imply causation, rather than accepting the conventional interpretation of the correlational data, it carefully inspects the rationale of the existing explanation and the possibility of alternative assumptions, adopting the best explanation based on a broader view of the evidence
