Hemispherectomy?

[Angrboda]

I have my own personal theory about the nature of the self, but given that it's wholly speculation and is more philosophy than neuroscience, I'll spare you the details here. The only thing that I would say is that it is highly unlikely that self can meaningfully be equated to a physical thing, like the body or a part of the brain. Identity is likely a process, a set of dynamic events based upon historical facts associated with the mind and body, and so it's possible to have multiple selves, just as it's possible to partition that history and, build on it without reference to other dynamic sets that constitute selves, and therefore can function and grow independently. My view is consistent with this, but is both more and less detailed.

Brain is simply a transceiver. Consciousness is external.

Got any, whachamacallit... evidence?
