Social neuroscientific research, by demonstrating patterns of brain activation when we think about the self or engage in behaviors that are closely tied to our sense of self, can lead to improved understanding. Moreover, such research shows the fallacy of Cartesian dualism—thinking that the mind is separate from the body. However, a critical aspect of the self is our experience of the self, and it seems to me that, as I suggested with regard to the experience of free will, social neuroscience will likely have less to say about this.
