How the Brain Got Language: The Mirror System Hypothesis
Arbib, Michael A. (Professor of Computer Science, Biological Sciences, Biomedical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Neuroscience, and Psychology, and Director of the USC Brain Project, Professor of Computer Science, Biological Sciences, Biomedical Engi
Unlike any other species, humans can learn and use language. In this book, Michael Arbib presents the Mirror System Hypothesis, which suggests how complex imitation supported the breakthrough to pantomime, protosign and protospeech and then, through cultural evolution, to fully fledged languages.
