Description

Why are we so affected by the emotions of people around us? Why do people seem to express different levels of empathy? And what are mirror neurons? In this episode we find the answers to these and many more questions about the social brain. Prof. Keysers was part of the team in Italy that found mirror neurons, a discovery that has changed our understanding of human nature. Here we take a journey through the empathic brain and learn why we have the ability to not only see what others are doing or experiencing but to feel it in ourselves.
