Abstract

The article presents a study on brain activation patterns in macaques during the performance of simple motor actions such as reaching for objects, conducted at the University of Parma in Parma, Italy. Study shows that the monkey's electrode fired and did so in the same pattern that it had in experiments when it had been eating raisins. It is from where the discovery of mirror neurons has been found out that sets off a research revolution.
