	the activity of the mirror system, first discovered in the brain
	of non-human primates, provides an observer with the understanding
	of a perceived action by means of the motor simulation of the agent's
	observed movements. This discovery has raised the prospects of a
	motor theory of social cognition. In humans, social cognition includes
	the ability to mindread, and many motor theorists of social cognition
	try to bridge the gap between motor cognition and mindreading by
	endorsing a simulation account of mindreading. Here, we question
	the motor theory of social cognition and give reasons for our skepticism.},
