Functional Connectivity of EEG in the default network of the brain: In search of a self-specific cortex

This work was undertaken with enthusiastic curiosity. In the course of reading thousands of neuroscience articles I have been hard pressed to understand what the EEG in the default network would look like when processing the self. In considering this ill-defined and often argued concept, the self must first be defined in its neurological components. Since the dawn of human language or even before there have been questions relating to existence and the meaning of life; however, in seeking these answers, the essence and meaning of the self has been neglected. Thus, we set out with very broad goals and hopefully this work will inspire other researchers and theorists to seek the self in the brain with as much interest and excitement as this project afforded me.
