I don't understand what neuroscience has to do with it. Nobody (enlightened or not) thinks there is a part of the brain that's the "self" part. "Self", useful or not, is in the mind. How is it that you can tell me that there are things that a neurologist would discover that would and wouldn't surprise you, but you can't tell me what those things are? Surely the neurologist would be able to explain their research to me. Wouldn't I be better off going into neurology if I wanted to learn something?
Nobody is such a small number of people. It just begs a contradiction!
