Reading Minds: How Your Brain Judges Other People’s Thoughts

by Gabrielle Lim

A super cool video about how our brains work when it tries to understand other people's thought processes. Rebecca Saxe from MIT reveals a pretty amazing discovery, which is that all people have a tiny region in their brains that's responsible solely for judging other people's thoughts.

Rebecca illustrates the growth of this region of the brain by studying it's changes in children. From 3 years-old and onwards, we can see how this area of the brain develops and how their thought processes change.
