Summary
This final chapter returns to the issues that the cognitive neuroscience of autoscopy raise for the philosophy of mind. The neuroscience project is to develop a detailed understanding and explanation of the relation between the physical and mental. I appeal to the works of Paul Schilder, Antonio Damasio, and Mohed Constandi to forge a tentative way of understanding how multiple perceptual modalities such as proprioception, vision, touch, and somatic perception are integrated to form a unified sense of the self and the body.
