The research that has been conducted following the discovery of mirror neurons has extended the implications of the initial empirical data in two ways. Firstly, it has led investigators to formulate the hypothesis that mirror neurons are a complex that involves the entire brain (MNS) Secondly, it suggests that this MNS is involved in a wide variety of psychological processes and functions. These hypotheses pose important conceptual questions which will be examined here.

Abstract
The research that has been conducted following the discovery of mirror neurons has extended the implications of the initial empirical data in two ways. Firstly, it has led investigators to formulate the hypothesis that mirror neurons are a complex that involves the entire brain (MNS) Secondly, it suggests that this MNS is involved in a wide variety of psychological processes and functions. These hypotheses pose important conceptual questions which will be examined here.
