• W909191312 abstract "THE PREVIOUS MINDFUL VOICE COLUMN was dedicated to unpacking lateralization and with it, popular view of brain as organ neatly divided into two halves, each with distinctly different personalities.1 Even though neuroscientists have long noted that brain actually works via a system of integrated networks, notion that left brain is rational and right brain is creative persists in popular culture, as does twin notion that people evince either right or left brain personalities and learning styles. Indeed, left brain/right brain theory of personality ranks right alongside Mozart Effect (the myth that listening to classical music makes you smarter) as one of most enduring scientific legends of current age.2 These beliefs are almost as pervasive as sense that mind is wiser than body, a notion rooted in classic mind-body of philosophy.With rapid advances in neuroscience, gulf that once separated mind and body is eroding just as rapidly as brain lateralization theory, as evidenced by Descartes's famous insight, think, therefore I am, now challenged by neuro-creed the mind is what brain does.3 Neuroscience is confronting some of most confounding questions of human existence, and most fundamental of those is very nature of consciousness itself.An easily grasped definition of consciousness is a kind of self-consciousness; that is, I am not only aware, but I am aware that I am aware. This state of mind-awareness of awareness-is also called mindfulness, and it is this quality, according to philosophy of mind, that distinguishes humans from all other creatures. Psychologist Daniel Robinson describes a conscious state as that thing which man, woman and child know to be true during every waking hour of daily life.4 Australian philosopher and cognitive scientist David Chalmers calls question of consciousness the hard problem of consciousness.5 Neuroscientist Joseph LeDoux labels question simply, the Big One.6LeDoux recounts how, until recently, this question was primarily province of elderly scientists, facing their own mortality, while younger researchers avoided the Big One altogether, for fear that confronting it would give budding scientists a bad reputation.7 Yet question is now at forefront of scientific research, abetted in part by pairing of philosophy with neuroscience.8At first glance, this pairing might seem a strange combination, yet this union is now over thirty years old. It began in 1970s when cognitive psychology (the science of how mind works) started toward its inevitable merger with neuroscience (the science of brain), which eventually produced new field of cognitive neuroscience.Experiments in this new field, such as studies of patients discussed in previous column, proved at once so thrilling and disturbing that age-old existential questions were re-ignited.Did splitting brain split soul? The soul was supposed to be indivisible, not divisible like a walnut. But there they were, split-brain results, available for all to see: if brain's hemisphere's are disconnected, mental states are disconnected. Those results were a powerful support for hypothesis that mental states are in fact states of physical brain itself, not states of nonphysical soul.9The merger of cognitive psychology and neuroscience also secured a central place for biology in study of mental processes. Nobel laureate and pioneer in neurobiology Eric Kandel writes that the new biology posits that consciousness is a biological process that will eventually be explained in terms of molecular signaling pathways used by interacting populations of nerve cells.10But LeDoux opines that quest to explain consciousness is being overemphasized and asks us to imagine a scenario in which, somehow, an indefatigable neuroscientist finally has solved consciousness problem. …" @default.
