Empathy is the ability to understand the internal experiences of another. It's the underlying mechanism that makes the outcome of sports events, movies, or video games interesting. It is the basic human characteristic that connects individuals, allowing for successful interactions and communication.

A new type of neuron--called a mirror neuron--could help explain how we learn through mimicry and why we empathize with others.

http://home.webuniverse.net/babette/mirror.htm

Mirror, Mirror: Our Brains are Hardwired for Empathy by Babette Rothschild.

http://www.livescience.com/humanbiology/050427_mind_readers.html

Empathy allows us to feel the emotions of others, to identify and understand their feelings and motives and see things from their perspective. How we generate empathy remains a subject of intense debate in cognitive science. Some scientists now believe they may have finally discovered its root. We're all essentially mind readers, they say.

http://www.edge.org/3rd_culture/ramachandran06/ramachandran06_index.html

[Ramachandran] further suggested "that the emergence of a sophisticated mirror neuron system set the stage for the emergence, in early hominids, of a number of uniquely human abilities such as proto-language (facilitated by mapping phonemes on to lip and tongue movements), empathy, 'theory of other minds', and the ability to 'adopt another's point of view'.

Neurons continue to grow

Much of a human's crucial brain development happens during childhood, but it isn't all downhill

from there. Studies have shown that neurons continue to grow and change well into the adult years.

Daniel Stern

http://attachment.edu.ar/intersubjectivity.html

Daniel Stern (The Interpersonal World of the Infant, 1985) attempts to guess the infant's subjective experiences as from birth.

He resorts to a somewhat sophisticated speculative argumentation whereby he proposes four abstract stages of self development

which would account for the whole of the infant's cognitive-emotional subjective development during the first 18 months of life.

Carl Jung

http://mythosandlogos.com/Jung.html

Carl Jung (1875-1961) is truly one of the great minds of psychology. Jung was a close colleague of Freud, in fact,

Freud himself considered Jung to be his theoretical heir, thus casting himself in a father-like role with Jung as the

crowned prince of psychoanalysis.
