TEDxGöteborg - Gustaf Gredebäck - The Mirror Neuron System: Understanding Others as Oneself

I found this interesting lecture at Neuroscene's podcast, Intrepid Insights.
Gustaf Gredebäck is an Associate Professor at the Department of Psychology, Uppsala University where he manages the Uppsala Babylab. His research span several topics including occulomotor development, social cognition, and object representations in infancy. Central to his research is the active infant, that perceive, interpret, and interact with his/her physical and social environment in a goal directed and future oriented manner.

About TEDx, x=independently organize event
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x=independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

Hey, it´s kind of scary when you find links to events in your own small hometown, that you didn´t know about, in this place ;-) Anyway, thanks, I´ll check this TED thing up, looks very substantial and interesting!
