Identity is a set of concepts, and so doesn't have a physical location, or list of locations.
To you it's in your perception, to others it's what they view you as in theirs.

Anyone have any ideas or thoughts on this? I always used to think a person's identity was located in the brain, but I'm not so sure anymore.

Do you think it's in the head, or in the entire body, or some place more specific? I just sometimes wonder about the nature of the 'I'.


Prefrontal lobe.
