Mirror neurons are a type of brain cell that are thought to underlie empathy and cause autism. Alternatively, however, mirror neurons might instead arise from repeated associations between what we see and what we do. This study uses brain stimulation and neuroimaging techniques to determine the function of mirror neurons.

镜像神经元是一种脑细胞，被认为是同情心的基础，并导致自闭症。然而，镜像神经元也可能是由我们所看到的和我们所做的之间的重复联系产生的。这项研究使用脑刺激和神经成像技术来确定镜像神经元的功能。
