Body in the Brain: the feeling of being yourself

Ian discussed the neuroscience on the construction and perception of body image inclusive of anatomical history. 

How do we know our place in space? How do we understand our bodies and how do we communicate this with others? How do we differentiate between our body and someone else's body. Ian shared and showed many examples in the Cafe Discussions to answer these questions.
