I read today in Scientific American about a new research for mirror neurons & hatred.
On the one hand it is very encouraging to find out that Noesis Theory explains most of the discoveries in the area of the brain... In fact, I could have predicted the outcome of this research beforehand, just by using Noesis Theory. It is also useful for me, because I learn about the proper scientific terms for some of the mechanisms I have described.
So I learned from this research the term of "mirror neurons" which in NT terms is the product of affinity. We get pleasure from some patterns and they are stored in our brain as extensions of ourselves (increasing the "affinity" between us and them), thus these neurons will reflect with a varying degree (which depends on how much pleasure they have provided to us) pleasure and pain of others towards us. In other words, any pattern that gets linked with us with the mechanism of affinity can be called a mirror neuron.
As a direct result of what I mentioned above, and a hint for future research for Scientific American: any memory neuron can become a mirror neuron, just because any type of pattern can possibly offer us pleasure and thus be linked with affinity.
The only disappointing thing from the comments above is that although Noesis Theory seems to have great value and potential (it explains scientific research before it even gets done), due to the fact that it is not well known yet, it cannot be utilized by the scientific community to set a proper framework for all cognitive functions and better direct our research.
Let's hope that this will change in the future.
