Perhaps you guys can help me with this.
​
A while back I read a quote that has really stuck with me, but I can't seem to find the source or the actual quote. It goes something like this (paraphrasing heavily):
​
"The good news is we have found the source of consciousness. The bad news is that it is just a bunch of little robots."
​
I think the quote was made by a neurobiologist. Damasio rang a bell, but I think he may have simply repeated the quote. Any ideas?
