The concept of self is used in many contexts, and its meaning covers a wide range of definitions and ideas. Hume (1888) approaches this confusion by atomizing the content of consciousness and in the process eliminating any notion of a reified self. The brain generates at set of llusions, one of which is the experience of the self. Descartes first devised the thought experiment of the “evil demon” that creates a pervasive illusion that we mistake as our experiences and thoughts, anticipating The Matrix motion picture.
