@devavoce1

Sure. The talk was at the Beyond Belief: Candles in the Dark conference on October 4th, 2008 at the Salk Institute, La Jolla, California, presented by The Science Network. There is a link in the description box. Scroll down a little, click on the 'About' tab and you can download a program for the event there. You might also enjoy checking out some of the other speakers at the conference. Their talks are available there, too.

Good luck with your dissertation! :-)

Thanks for this - I especially liked the connection made between imitation and empathy.
