Paperback. Condition: New. Illustrated. How does the brain, an organ composed of billions of individual cells, create the subjective sense of a unified self? And where is the self located in the brain? In Altered Egos Feinberg describes his search, from medical school through his career as a psychiatrist and neurologist, for answers to these questions. The result is an intriguing, surprising, and deeply probing book that explores the fundamental relationship between the self and the brain. l Beginning with vignettes of patients who have neurological perturbations of the self, Feinberg gives an entertaining, insightful, and fresh account of how the human brain functions - and malfunctions - in people with psychiatric and neurological disorders. In doing so he presents a new theory of the self that links the workings of the brain with unique features of the mind, such as meaning, purpose and being. Feinberg argues that computers will never be conscious or have selves because the self and the mind are unique constituents of the life of the individual.…

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. In Altered Egos, Dr. Todd Feinberg presents a new theory of the self based on his first-hand experience as both a psychiatrist and neurologist.Feinberg introduces dozens of intriguing cases of patients whose disorders have resulted in what he calls "altered egos": a change in the brain that transforms the boundaries of the self. He describes patients who suffer from "alien hand syndrome" where one hand might attack the patient's own throat,patients with frontal lobe damage who invent fantastic stories about their lives, paralyzed patients who reject and disown one of their limbs. He then argues that the brain damage suffered by these people hasdone more than simply impair certain functions--it has fragmented their sense of self.From these fascinating cases, Feinberg proposes a new model of the self that links the workings of the brain with unique and personal features of the mind, such as meaning, purpose, and being. Drawing on his own and other evidence, he explains how the unified self, while not located in one or another brain region, arises out of the staggering complexity and number of thebrain's component parts.Lucid, insightful, filled with fascinating case studies and provocative new ideas, Altered Egos promises to change the way we think about human consciousness and the creation andmaintenance of human identity. One of the unsolved mysteries is how the brain creates the subjective sense of a unifies self. In Altered Egos Feinberg, a psychiatrist and neurologist, addresses this question by considering how the human brain functions--and malfunctions--in patients with neurological perturbations of the self.
