Mirrors in the Brain?
One of the most divisive discoveries in the last 50 years in social cognitive neuroscience has been "mirror neurons", a class of cells argued to underpin imitation, language, empathy and even symptoms of autism. This lecture outlines the initial discovery of mirror neurons, the theories surrounding them, and the fierce debate and criticism such theories have since undergone.

Dr. Hanna Hobson profile:
Dr. Hannah completed her DPhil in Experimental Psychology (University of Oxford) examining EEG measures of mirror neuron systems, and the behavioural imitation abilities of children with autism spectrum conditions and developmental language disorder. Dr. Hannah has also worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the Institute of Psychology, Psychiatry, and Neuroscience, King's College London.

I'd love to hear your argument as to why it's not ethical to wire the cortices of humans but it is to do so with monkeys.
