I Feel Your Pain

New research suggests that people aren't just sad when they see others in pain -- their brains actually react a bit as if they were hurt themselves. Researchers at Stanford University in California studied people's brain activity while they watched videos of other people being hurt, then compared it to the reaction when the subjects themselves experienced pain. Researchers discovered overlaps -- though not exact matches -- between how participants' brains responded to pain and to seeing pain in others. This neurological empathy may serve an important purpose, study author Dr. Sean Mackey said. "It is this empathy that binds all of us together in society and allows us to feel how other people are feeling so that we can better understand their intentions and actions."
