I believe that the prime reality of my experiencing self cannot with propriety be identified with some aspects of its experiences and its imaginings—such as brains and neurons and nerve impulses and even complex spatio-temporal patterns of impulses […] these events in the material world are necessary but not sufficient causes for conscious experiences and for my consciously experiencing self.—Sir John Carew Eccles, in his book ‘Facing Reality: Philosophical Adventures by a Brain Scientist’
Sir John Carew Eccles, a neurophysiologist, won the 1963 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine with Alan Lloyd Hodgkin and Andrew Fielding Huxley for his work in chemical synaptic transmission.
