The article shows that the concept of personhood, the type of reality of person elaborated by Zubiri, represents an important philosophical contribution in the current context of neurosciences, because his philosophy of personhood is connected with biological sciences and especially with a conception of human brain, which is understood as organ of hyperformatilzation and provides the basis for grounding the new concept of sentient intelligence, beyond the traditional conceptions of substance, consciousness and subject.
