"The building of those neural patterns is based on the momentary
selection of neurons and circuits engaged by the interaction.
In other words, the building blocks exist within the brain,
available to be picked up—selected—and assembled in a particular
arrangement. Imagine a room dedicated to Lego play, filled with
every Lego piece conceivable, and you get part of the picture. u
You
could construct anything you fancied, as does the brain because it
has component pieces for every sensory modality."(Damasio 199)
Essentially Damasio is saying the images and thoughts of our mind are created through the neural passages of our brain. It is akin to lego as we construct these images with patterns and circuits of firing neurons. The builder is the brain, which builds thoughts, images and sounds when triggered by environmental stimuli. For example, sound in reconstructed in the brain, the brain associates familiar sound with the object of association.
