@kwdodd posted this video on his Twitter feed and I just found this short 8 min clip fascinating. We briefly heard about these things called “mirror neurons” in neuroscience class but Dr. Ramachandran does an excellent job of explaining what these things are and why they are so amazing.

Hopefully some of you enjoy this.
