    You are on point with your last sentence.

    When something happens and we perceive it, we think of the situation. Yes, yes, technically it’s the brain doing the thinking, but our brain is us, not something separate.

    So a better phrase would be the one you mentioned. “When we notice this mimicry, our brains activate such and such regions.”
