Me. The Brain and the Emergence of Consciousness

Leading neuroscientist Antonio Damasio discusses how the various elements of our human experience come together to form a unified whole - consciousness. How consciousness and the "I" in our heads arise - a question that has stumped philosophers for centuries - Antonio Damasio takes a neuroscience perspective. He argues that the basis of consciousness lies in emotions, which are endowed not only by humans, but also by animals; he puts forward an extremely unusual hypothesis of the origin of sensations, proving that initially sensations arose not in the cerebral cortex, but in its stem part; he says that the "I" opened the way to the emergence of culture and led to the emergence of a new level system - sociocultural homeostasis.
