Cognition through internal models: Mirror neurons as one manifestation of a broader mechanism

2022-09-08

Abstract excerpt

Cognition relies on transforming sensory inputs into a more generalizable understanding. Mirror neurons are proposed to underlie this process, yet they fail to explain many key features of human thinking and learning. Here we hypothesize that mirror-like responses are one limited view into a more general framework by which internal models of the world are built and used. We recorded populations of single neurons i...
