Claim: The right temporoparietal junction plays a role in observation, process information, and social interaction, where empathy and sympathy require simultaneous recognition between different possible perspectives on the same situation.
Evidence: The right temporoparietal junction (rTPJ) is involved in the processing of information in terms of the ability of an individual to pay attention. Furthermore, the rTPJ plays a role in the way individuals observe and process information, thus impacting social interaction. Empathy and sympathy require an individual to simultaneously distinguish between different possible perspectives on the same situation.
