Armstrong argues that the ways in which stories order events in time, imitate actions, and relate our experiences to others' lives are correlated to cortical processes of temporal binding, the circuit between action and perception, and the mirroring operations underlying embodied intersubjectivity. He reveals how recent neuroscientific findings about how the brain works―how it assembles neuronal syntheses without a central controller―illuminate cognitive processes involving time, action, and self-other relations that are central to narrative.
