Persistent connection

A supramodal bridge that links 2 minds, the mirror neuron network has been described as the potential neural basis of empathy and compassion. Mirror neurons may allow us to absorb and reflect the actions, intentions, and emotions of others, while atypical mirror networks may challenge those with neurodivergent minds to depend on inference.1 This shattered mirror's image is distorted, its intact meaning lost: in the 2 juxtaposed mirrors, the reflections are infinite, and miscommunications between 2 minds are likewise infinite and inexorable. Yet, a reflection nevertheless persists (figures 1 and 2).
