> If one day, as Matt has indicated so often, humans succeed in building an artificial brain with our capacity for sentience, empathy, reason, creativity etc., there will be a strong case for the brain being the source and not the receiver of consciousness. Until then, scientists and philosophers can only cling to their particular faith, or go on speculating.
The brain is made of "thousands of specific types of brain cell that look and behave differently." The ultimate object is to "lay bare the biological side of our personalities, memories, skills and susceptibilities. Somewhere in our brains is who we are."-
