I Think --> therefore --> I Am --- ^ | | | | | ------------------------------------------ Rob Howard _____ From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Victoria Hughes Sent: Tuesday, August 11, 2009 8:46 PM To: The Friday Morning Applied Complexity Coffee Group Subject: [FRIAM] not a place but a process- 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." >From Identity <http://scienceblogs.com/cortex/2009/08/identity_delusions.php> Delusions : The Frontal Cortex Tory
