The mirror mechanism is a basic brain mechanism that transforms sensory representations of others' behaviour into one's own motor or visceromotor representations concerning that behaviour. According to its location in the brain, it may fulfil a range of cognitive functions, including action and emotion understanding. In each case, it may enable a route to knowledge of others' behaviour, which mainly depends on one's own motor or visceromotor representations.
镜像机制是一种基本的大脑机制，它将他人行为的感觉表象转化为自身关于该行为的运动或内脏运动表象。根据其在大脑中的位置，它可能履行一系列认知功能，包括动作和情绪理解。在每种情况下，它都可以为了解他人的行为提供一种途径，而这种途径主要依赖于自身的运动或内脏运动表象。
