ON THE FREEDOM TO FEEL PAIN

With contributions by Ralph Adolphs, Burkhart Bromm, Antonio Damasio, Falk Eippert, Hartmut Göbel, Jürgen Lorenz, Christoph von der Malsburg, Kurt Pawlik, Gerhard Roth, Manfred Stöckler and Rolf-Detlef Treede

We can make our pain more bearable through our willpower. But how and where does my self (my soul) affect my body? In this book, physicians, neurophysiologists, physicists, philosophers, and psychologists demonstrate that the dualism between body and soul, which we all perceive, does not exist. Both are inextricably linked as a single entity, formed over millions of years through the adaptive self-organization of the brain's neuronal network. The series: Proceedings of the Hamburg Academy of Sciences. The Proceedings of the Hamburg Academy of Sciences publish monographs or conference reports from the natural sciences, humanities, or social sciences on an irregular basis. These publications are presented by members of the classless Academy and contribute to fundamental problems, historical or contemporary issues, or socially significant scientific developments.
