Body-to-Body Empathy

phenomenological goal in editing where the audience feels a physical, empathetic connection with a character's experience of pleasure, pain, or exertion. This is achieved not just by showing an action, but by shaping the rhythm and dynamics of the sequence to synchronize the viewer's own neurological and physiological responses (via mirror neurons) with the on-screen body.
