Abstract
Consciousness and the self are amongthe most debated topics in neuroscience.There is, however, no agreement on theproper way to articulate both notions.In this paper we explore the possibilitiesfor analyzing this conceptual joint fromthe vantage point of affective neuroscience. In doing so, we substantiate that theconceptual entanglements present in theliterature do not prevent the use of theoretical and empirical research on the fieldin order to make sense of the aforementioned conceptual joint.
