The idea of “mirror neurons” seems false to me when opposed to the idea that standard neuron network can
\nproduce the same mirroring effect:<\/p>\n
If, say, taring a paper is a combine sensory experience of touch resistance, sound and visual stimuli,
\nthe brain will have a network that stands for this concept.<\/p>\n
If this network is highly trained\/associated, then only one part has to become active (ie hearing a paper tare,
\nor seeing another person tare a piece of paper) to activate the associated neurons in the network.<\/p>\n
Recent study (Dinstein I, 2008, 2008) propose that mirror neurons don’t exist and that firing in those regions
\ndue to other processes.<\/p>\n
The human infant brain uses “mirroring” to an effect before 12 months of Age. This indicates to me that
\nthe connections that form “concepts” in our brain are still developing at that age and can change and modify
\nquickly during that period.<\/p>\n
More and more I seem to believe in an almost 2 stage learning process in the brain. The first is the
\ngrowth of primary “loose” connections between neighbouring neurons. The second is the growth of longer<\/p>\n
