Mirror neurons: Tests and testability
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 37 (2):221-241 (2014)
Abstract
Commentators have tended to focus on the conceptual framework of our article, the contrast between genetic and associative accounts of mirror neurons, and to challenge it with additional possibilities rather than empirical data. This makes the empirically focused comments especially valuable. The mirror neuron debate is replete with ideas; what it needs now are system-level theories and careful experiments – tests and testability.Author's Profile
