This would appear to be the [or at least 'a'] biological basis for the mimetic capacity that seems to be a basic building block for human sociability and learning."they stumbled across a curious cluster of cells in the premotor cortex, an area of the brain responsible for planning movements. The cluster of cells fired not only when the monkey performed an action, but likewise when the monkey saw the same action performed by someone else. The cells responded the same way whether the monkey reached out to grasp a peanut, or merely watched in envy as another monkey or a human did. Because the cells reflected the actions that the monkey observed in others, the neuroscientists named them 'mirror neurons.'"
My interest is that it is likely to be one of the 'forces' driving the emergent properties of social organisations.
It grabbed my attention because I have been reflecting that given that each human brain has to, in effect, programme itself, each human brain will have its own 'operating system' which means that the basis for telepathy, if it exists would be limited to the kinds of things that these neorns could do. In other words we are already telepathic and we exchange imformation using open standards for our 'files' ... verbally or through writing.
