My brain waves say this sounds doubtful

the sense of self isn't constant and is totally malleable! i've had these experiences where everything is me, so that's my brainwaves moving real slow. there's no real self, it's just if my brain decides to move fast or slow. identity isn't real.

I believe that's what Buddhism teaches. No self.
