Beyond Mirror Neurons is an in-depth conversation between Howard Burton and Greg Hickok, Professor of Cognitive science at UC Irvine, where he directs the Center for Language Science and the Auditory and Language Neuroscience Lab. This thought-provoking conversation examines Greg Hickok’s neuroscience research related to speech and language which led him to eventually reject many aspects of the mirror neuron hypothesis, while giving his views on the mechanisms behind imitation and what mirror neurons really do.
This conversation will be released in a carefully-edited video format. Available now is an enhanced book developed from the conversation, while Greg Hickok is also featured in a short documentary – all details are below.
“I consider this a really great, innovative series that could augment classroom education substantially by going behind the scenes with established scientists and other researchers. I will certainly be using the material with my teaching at graduate and undergraduate levels.” — Greg Hickok
This enhanced book is available in electronic format on all major booksellers, including:
Beyond Mirror Neurons is part of the 5-part Ideas Roadshow Collection, Conversations About Psychology, Volume 2, which is available in hardcover, paperback and electronic format.
