IRB intro post #1- Mirroring People

The independent reading book I chose to read this marking period is called Mirroring People by Marco Iacoboni. This is a book on the science of mirror neurons and psychology of how humans connect with each other through empathy. The author is a leading neuroscientist explaining the science of our "smart cells" in our brain allowing us to understand others. I chose this book because I am into neurology and psychology. This specific book jumped out to me because it is groundbreaking, new research capable with our modern technology and researchers. It is easily relatable and interesting to me because it is dealing with the science of humans. By reading this book, I hope to gain a better scientific knowledge of how and why humans can empathetically feel others through neurons.
