of the SELF
I read this article in Scientific American magazine (SCIAM). It seems interesting and also gives a intutive feel whoever reads.
I strongly wish to express the beauty of this article in layman terms.
These are the excerpts from the article:
The most obvious thing about yourself is your self. "You look down at your body and know it's yours. You know it's your hand and you're controlling when you reach out. When you have memories, you know that are yours and not someone else's. When you wake up in the morning, you don't have to interrogate yourself for a long time about you are"
The self may be obviousm but it also an enigma.
"Several brain regions have been found to respond differently to information relating to the self than they do to information relating to others, even to very familiar others. For instance, such regions may be more active when people think about their own attributes than when they think about the characteristics of other individuals. These regions could be part of a self-network."
Ofcourse the contemporary researchers are not in agreement with this statement.
" The sight of someone being touched made her feel as if someone were touching her in the same place on her own body. She thought every one had that experience." - One research scholor experience.
Even we feel the same. isn't it??
