Scientists Ponder ‘I Dream, Therefore I Am’
___________________________________________
I think,
therefore I am” is a fundamental concept of
philosophy: We have to assume that we really exist,
because we’re aware of our existence. But in neurological
terms the idea is slipperier, because scientists
haven’t been able to identify the area of the brain
responsible for self-awareness.
Research involving lucid dreaming may solve
the mystery. Lucid dreamers are sleepers who are
aware that they’re dreaming and can even control
their dreams. Scientists at the Max Planck Institutes
of Psychiatry in Munich are using magnetic image
tomography to monitor activity of lucid dreamers in
regions of the brain associated with self-reflective
functions during consciousness. By comparing brain functions before and during lucid
dreaming, the scientists hope to pin down how the brain knows it’s awake and aware.
