Iacobani explained that when one tells a purposeful story in the room, face to face, they evoke the mirrorneuron system of their listener to feel what they are feeling in their tell and thus mirror the same intentions.
Dr Iacoboni discovered that the mirror neurons involved in grasping the intentions of others are in part of the right hemisphere that corresponds to Broca's area in the left hemisphere, and both also correspond with mirror-neuron sites in monkeys.
