I. The brain and the emergence of consciousness. Damasio A.

The leading neuro -scientist Antonio Damasio about how the various elements of our human experience are combined into a single whole - into consciousness. How consciousness arises and “I” in our head is a question that has been at a dead end of philosophers for centuries, Antonio Damasio has been considering from the position of neuronauki. He argues that the basis of consciousness is emotions that are endowed not only by a person, but also animals, puts forward an extremely unusual hypothesis of the origin of sensations, proving that the sensations did not arise in the cerebral cortex, but in its stem part, suggests that it suggests that "I" opened the way to the emergence of culture and led to the emergence of a system of a new level - sociocultural homeostasis.
