Just to be clear here the self has to be non-physical. This should be made clear by reading my essay on teleportation. Also the homunculus problem might apply to a physical self ( I use the word self as in the sense of being the author of various psychological states rather than merely being the sum of them. The materialist has to hold the latter).
