From the Quotation of the day mailing list, 2008-03-11:

"The harder one stares into the machinery of the brain, the starker the realisation that there is no one in there. There is no inner sanctum of the self. Neural networks have a life and logic of their own. There is no one running the show. The self is a shadow-puppet shaped by the firings of a hundred billion brain cells. These are conceptual conundrums. Intractable to current science, they call for an artistic response." -- Paul Broks, neuropsychologist and writer, in his essay for the catalogue of artist Susan Aldworth's Scribing the Soul exhibition.
