Wilder Penfield on the mind and the brain
Note 34. To the Subsection “6. Process of Cognition and Physiological Conditions”
Примітка 36. До розділу “2.6.1. Паралельність психологічних і фізіологічних процесів“
Wilder Penfield states: “The brain is a kind of computer in which an automatic mechanism acquired anew is at work. Every computer becomes useful only after it is given a program and is operated by someone existing separately from the computer. Let us consider the case where we observe a certain thing. It seems that the decision to do so is the function of the mind, which exists separately from the brain.” The Mystery of the Mind (Japanese version) (Tokyo: Hosei University Press, 1978), 110.
