Recent neuroscientific evidence points to the existence of a system that specializes in the real-time evaluation of the motivational state of another individual. This system, whose center is located in the anterior cingulate gyrus, is assumingly distinct from other networks underpinning the empathy-related processes of theory-of-mind and embodied simulation. We present a model that assigns a central role to this module in motivational empathy, embed it in a larger context of embodied cognition, discuss the significance of its constrains to cinematic empathy, and present preliminary fMRI evidence that support our model.
