The self feels like a singular thing - I am me - and yet it comes from
no single brain area and depends on a vast network of neurons,
distributed across the brain. This means that we are not a place: we
are a process. As Daniel Dennett wrote, our mind is made up "of
multiple channels in which specialist circuits try, in parallel
pandemoniums, to do their various things, creating Multiple Drafts as
they go."
