there's no separation, you and your brain are not 2 different things. The interface (what most people call "you") is that, just the interface. The real "you" is everything..

There has to be some degree of separation at some point though. For all I know, there could be more than one "me" experiencing life as processed by my brain at any given time, but the self cannot possible be the complete interface as a whole. If it were so, then the self could not continue to exist if a portion of the interface were removed, but it can, regardless of it being a less than optimal condition.
