And it goes on to say:
"Simulation theory states that we are natural mind readers. We place ourselves in another person’s "mental shoes," and use our own mind as a model for theirs.

Gallese contends that when we interact with someone, we do more than just observe the other person’s behavior. He believes we create internal representations of their actions, sensations and emotions within ourselves, as if we are the ones that are moving, sensing and feeling."

That is, I guess, one form of mind reading, more sophisticated than mind reading just by reading people's facial expressions, for instance. Not telepathy, but an explanation of empathy.
