As we know, center of gravity of any body is not 'real'. No one can
see it by using any method. But it still does exist! Likewise no one
can see 'self' but it still does exist. So I thought that there might
be some relation between 'center of gravity of brain' and 'self'.

And as you pointed out that center of gravity of brain may vary from
person to person due to 'minor asymmetries', may be that is the reason
why every person has different 'self'.

BTW, I tried it many times to figure out exact location from where my
thoughts arise but it seems it is everywhere in my skull. May be it is
in frontal lobe.
