Classic scholar talk, it's great that I am moving from the stimulating emotional TED talk to pure ( and boring ) intellectual talk.
1. Conscience; displaying image, sound, imagine and reflect.
-> It's basically the same part where the brain feels.
2. Self:
What is self? Are we the only animal to have self? (Linkage to: other animal doesn't seem to understand mirror)
- Key problem about self: "How can you have this reference point, this stability, that is required to maintain the continuity of selves day after day?"
-> hypothesis: We generate brain maps of the body's interior and use them as the reference for all other maps.
-> the self is bind with our interior system, which also has to be very stable.
-> The idea so far, seems to be that self is generated from the frontal cortex, but though it is related, Damasio doesn't think it is because of the cortex, only that because the cortex allow the self to have a rich mind.
-> the proto, the core, the autobiographical.
