What is your opinion on Mirror Neurons? Does it make sense from a Buddhist standpoint? Is science catching up with the Buddha?

Pretty interesting stuff imo.

    Wow, pretty mind blowing. I don't know really how to break this down but I definitely think this ties in the the Buddhist no self perhaps not on a different level but one step to the left.

    Around 5 minutes he says that if the arm is numbed or cut off or w/e then you literally feel the sensation via watching someone else being touched. Is he basing that off of an experiment?

    Fascinating stuff though.
