Abstract

This chapter is devoted to the development of a new theory relating to the manner in which the self-conscious mind and the brain interact. It is a very strong dualism and raises the most severe scientific problems in relationship to the interface between the world of matter-energy, in the special instance of the liaison area of the brain, and the world of states of consciousness that is referred to as the self-conscious mind. This dualist-interactionist explanation has been specially developed for the self-conscious mind and the human brain, in particular the dominant hemisphere, as disclosed by the experiments on commissurotomy patients. Its role for animals and for the minor hemisphere is debatable.
