Once I heard of Mirror Neuron.
It is a kind of nerve, perhaps in my understanding.
Mirror neuron, as it bears a word “Mirror”, it seems having function of mirror.
Mirror reflects, especially when something that has its own consciousness sees its “reflection” on the mirror, the presence of the “reflection” causing feedback effect over the formulation of consciousness.
So, mirror neuron needs objects to be reflected, literally saying.
But the device is not necessarily a real mirror rather is an imaginary perception of reflection that is taking shape in human consciousness (I’d rather say consciousness than brain) on any stimulation by any outside object it regards.
For instance, human’s mirror neuron needs such outside object as other humans.
Without others human cannot shape itself, it suggests, I think.
The reflection that is formulated through mirror neuron feedback process will not always be of positive rather be sometimes hater, anger, sadness, missing feeling etc.
It sounds like to me something what Yoda said to Luke Skywalker.
Nevertheless, as long as others exist, our mirror neuron continues functioning, regardless of positive or negative.
Then, think about war. That means terminating the feedback loop with others. Don’t you think? Of course, exchanging fires seems somehow exchanging feedbacks but the final destination of war is to exterminate others, means cutting feedback.
There only remaining are mounting dead bodies.
OK, sorry, my imagination has just overrun.
Maybe everyone has own problem in seeing the self, sometimes negatively, sometimes positively everyone sees the self. I am always trying to see myself positively but sometimes I face a situation that the more forcing me to see myself positive the further I’m getting negative.
Anyway, scientifically also it has been proven that thinking positive leads human to positive manner and enhances its capability.
Obi-Wan Kenobi, one of apprentice of Yoda said, “Use The Force”.
I am not saying Mirror Neuron is The Force. It’s just kind of metaphor for me.
Mirror Neuron has been and will further be an issue for researchers for neuro science and then utilized by computer scientists, phycological study etc.
Here I built a tiny SCRATCH program for short video image on my impression on Mirror Neuron. (For just killing time.)
