Mirror neurons may hold the brain's key to social interaction -
each coding not only a particular action or emotion but also the
recognition of that action or emotion in others. The Mirror System
Hypothesis adds an evolutionary arrow to the story - from the
mirror system for hand actions, shared with monkeys and
chimpanzees, to the uniquely human mirror system for language. In
this accessible volume, experts from child development, computer
science, linguistics, neuroscience, primatology and robotics
present and analyse the mirror system and show how studies of
action and language can illuminate each other. Topics discussed in
the fifteen chapters include: what do chimpanzees and humans have
in common? Does the human capability for language rest on brain
mechanisms shared with other animals? How do human infants acquire
language? What can be learned from imaging the human brain? How are
sign- and spoken-language related? Will robots learn to act and
speak like humans?
