@Olivier5,
The reason I am not explaining the self is because, like I said, I think neuroscience already has an explanation for what the self is and how it came to be. Therefore, the only thing left for me to explain from there is that an experience arises due to the self being a part of all those neurons. When you stimulate some neurons in the brain, the self is there to perceive that stimulation as an experience.

But take the self out, then the stimulation becomes nothing more than something akin to stimulation of atoms/molecules in an object. Go back and read my opening post to remind yourself of what I've explained earlier. I said that without the self, then the brain becomes a mere object. But when you have the self, the brain becomes the seat of all experience for the individual.

@MozartLink,
No, neurosciences do not have an explanation for the self.
