About This Course
How does the feeling of individuality emerge? This lesson describes how body sensations, emotion, and cognition interact to “self”-organize into the emergence of self. It discusses the emergence of subjectivity and emotion by describing the mind’s operating systems; The Salient, Executive, and Default Mode Networks. The Salience Network, sometimes called the “feeling network” or “the material me” involves the somatic sensation and the emergence of emotion.
The Executive, sometimes called the central executive or the CEO of the brain, includes working memory, being present in the moment, and complex decision making. And the Default Mode Network, sometimes called the “story brain” involves self-referential thought, fantasy, daydreaming, rumination, and often about other people and our place within our relationships. It draws up episodic memories and reflects on the past as well as projects into the future.
