Descartes’ Error: Emotion, Reason and the Human Brain
How well do we know ourselves?
Submitted by kmanning on Mon, 11/03/2008 - 7:36pmIt is well known that our unconscious is receiving many more signals than the conscious mind eventually becomes aware of, or than the unconscious is choosing to use in its creation of the coherent story of “reality” it makes available to the conscious (7). Neuroscience and neurobiology increasingly support the idea that much of what we eventually understand to be behavior governed by our free will is in fact initiated by the unconscious slightly before the conscious mind even becomes aware of it (2).
