Both Emily and X. have damage within the association cortices, respectively visual and auditory association cortices. It is apparent, then, from the study of numerous cases like theirs, that extensive damage in those sensory cortices does not compromise core consciousness. When it comes to extensive damage of early sensory cortices, only damage to the somatosensory regions causes a disruption of consciousness, for the reasons adduced earlier: the somatosensory regions are part of the basis of the proto-self, and their damage can easily alter the basic mechanisms of core consciousness.

now that we know how the brain can put together the neural patterns that represent an object, and the neural patterns that represent an individual organism, we are ready to consider the mechanisms that the brain may use to represent the relationship between the object and the organism—the causal action of the object on the organism and the resulting possession of the object by the organism.
