Abstract

The functioning of the pre-reflective or inner self is considered in more detail in this chapter in terms of its possible creation through the CODAM model of attention presented in the previous chapter. In contradiction to the view of Western phenomenology, that the inner self appears to serve no specific purpose except that of providing the further ownership of experience, it is proposed here that the inner self acts rather as a call centre, enabling connections to be made between distant and functionally different components of brain processing thereby making such interactions more efficient. It achieves these functions by monitoring and speeding up ongoing calls or those calls about to be set up so that incorrect call routing is avoided and call switching occurs as fast as possible.
