About the Author
Vittorio Gallese is a renowned neuroscientist and professor of Psychobiology at the University of Parma, celebrated for his groundbreaking research on mirror neurons and their profound implications for understanding human empathy, social cognition, and intersubjectivity. A pioneer in bridging neuroscience with humanities, Gallese explores how embodied simulation mechanisms underpin our interactions with others, from everyday relationships to artistic experiences. His work has revolutionized fields like psychology, philosophy, and film studies, demonstrating how brain processes enable us to 'feel' and interpret the emotions of those around us. Through numerous publications and collaborations, including with filmmakers and philosophers, Gallese continues to illuminate the neural foundations of what it means to be human in an increasingly digital and mediated world.
