Another great post. IMO the root of this dualism is not only pervasive in neuroscience, but also in physics, astronomy, and evolutionary biology. In the simplest terms, I believe it is the ultimate reluctance to consider ourselves in position that is not unbiased by our awareness. Even efforts to consider ourselves from a perspective of experimental fact, are usually presented as lessons in humility or exercises in uncommon thinking, rather than a foundation on which to build a consistent model that includes ourselves and everything else.Cognition and cogitation are functions of man, not of our brains: This is the thrust of our misconception.
