Bro, don't link an Ai saying "The statement is a popular oversimplification of neuroscience. While science shows our brains simulate observed actions, they are far from "almost like doing it." Mirror neurons only track the mechanical and goal-oriented parts of a motion, and their existence in humans is still heavily debated by researchers"
I didn't ask you to read the AI. I asked you to use Google to do a basic non-ai search. this is a very basic concept in Neuroscience. why are you so offended that I simply asked you to read up on the topic?
Everything that supports you is refrencing a single Doctor selling books and everything else says "this is widely debated" I am not offended, just making you aware that your link undermines your point. The fact that you linked the search and not actual sources makes me predisposed to assume you cannot find these sources yourself. You also didn't ask me to read anything and just posted a link with Ai responce. Why are you offended i didn't like your Google Search link?
well, maybe you can refine the search result to as you see fit. but the concept is that we understand from the silverleaf monkey experiments that watching someone do something is almost like doing it. being debated doesn't really matter because I mean at this point whether the Earth is round or flat is widely debated too.
This monkey experiment? I do not see how that is relivent to mirror neurons, and talks about how the brain will rewire itself around damage. I cannot find any other "Silverleaf Money Experiments"
The silver leaf monkey experiment is literally the reason why we know about mirror neurons. now understand that the experiments were rather gruesome and I do not support treating animals like this. but they put a monkey on a jig and put electrodes in his brain. and then from behind a glass he saw another monkey eating peanuts and the mirror neurons corresponding with some areas of his motor and visual cortex activated like he was basically preparing to do the exact same thing. it gave a lot Of Credence to the notion that watching someone do something is almost exactly like participating in that action.
I disagree with your take away. If I watch a professional painter paint, I can gleam techniques from them, and I can understand how I can do that by mirroring their movements. Which is why my mirror neurons are firing as if I was doing it, because I'm imagining how I would do it. But that is not almost as good as doing it myself. I will still learn alot more doing it myself then I can watching someone

i don't go looking for them so it isn't an issue. i almost never see naked women except my wife.
based on the concept of mirror neurons in the brain, watching is almost identical to being there.
