The emergence of language, social intelligence, and tool development are what made homo sapiens sapiens differentiate itself from all other biological species in the world. The use of language and the management of social and instrumental skills imply an awareness of intention and the consideration that one faces another individual with an attitude analogical to that of one's own. The metaphor of 'mirror' aptly comes to mind.Recent investigations have shown that the human ability to 'mirror' other's actions originates in the brain at a much deeper level than phenomenal awareness.

This chapter, written by a cognitive neuroscientist and an architect, endeavors to suggest why and how cognitive neuroscience should investigate our relationship with aesthetics and architecture--framing this empirical approach as experimental aesthetics. The term experimental aesthetics specifically refers to the scientific investigation of the brain-body physiological correlates of the aesthetic experience of particular human symbolic expressions, such as works of art and architecture. The notion "aesthetics" is used here mainly in its bodily connotation, as it refers to the sensorimotor and affective aspects of our experience of these particular perceptual objects.

Cet ouvrage est le résultat de la rencontre organisée entre Daniel Stern et Giuseppe Gallese par Luigi Onnis en 2011. Depuis la découverte des neurones miroirs, un parallèle peut être envisagé entre neuroscience et psychothérapie, revendiqué par ces deux chercheurs. Leurs travaux mettent au jour ce qui se joue dans la relation mère-enfant, la création artistique et les processus thérapeutiques.
