He makes it sound so easy...
V.S.Ramachandran has a seemingly concise and simple solution to the problem of how to understand the human consciousness. However, a small amount of insight into the current status of cognitive/neuro/bio-sciences will clue you in to the fact that his solution - Find out how [the inferior parietal lobule, Wernicke's language comprehension area and the anterior cingulate cortex] perform their job and we will have figured out what it means to be a conscious human being - is a bit harder than it may seem : )
still, it's the briefest piece on human consciousness that i've read in a long time...
On My Mind, by V.S. Ramachandran
