neurological consciousness

Following is a link to an interview on NPR with neurologist Antonio Damasio. It is about human consciousness. He is interested in the connection between the body and brain which he believed is formed in the brain stem and has much to do with feelings. He talks about time and the advantage of choice, etc.
