Interesting talk, but who is this "Sean"?

I guess one thing I found quite intriguing in this was that some of the same neurons activated when performing a task, are also activated watching someone else perform that task.

 

That adds an interesting perspective to things like martial arts (and many meditation practices) that traditionally need to be taught in person.
