I saw something like this on a TV program about the brain (BBC 1). It said that when we observe a person doing
something, the same pathways in the brain that are firing in the person they are watching to create that activity
are firing in the observer, but not actually causes an action.
The example they gave was rowers, saying that the
people watching the boat races actually had the pathways to create a rowing \"stroke\" firing in their
brains.
Cool huh?
