A philosopher argues that the experienced self is a transparent model generated by the brain rather than an entity perceived directly.

Philosopher and cognitive scientist Andy Clark explains the brain as an active prediction system rather than a passive recorder. Perception, action, expectation, and the body's signals work together as the brain continually anticipates what is happening and corrects itself when the world pushes back.
BookMark Solms

Nick Chater
