Summary of Bruce Hood's The Self Illusion

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 The human brain is what makes us who we are. It is the most amazing organ in the universe, and yet it is not very appealing when it is prepared for dissection.

#2 We all have a matrix in our brain because our brains are constructing simulations or stories to make sense of our experiences. We process the outside world through our nervous system to create a model of reality in our brains.

#3 The brain is the most obvious place to start when it comes to understanding how the sense of self is formed. The brain is the foundation of who we are, and it is what makes us human.

#4 The human brain is made up of an estimated 170 billion cells. There are three major types of neurons. sensory neurons respond to information picked from the environment through our senses. motor neurons relay information that controls our movement outputs. But it is the third class of neuron that makes up the majority – the interneurons, which connect the input and output of the brain into an internal network.
