Ok, then what are all the details and constraints of that process? TIA 😁

The answer to your question lies in thalamo-cortical loops, my friend. Sorry... 😛

Why not cortico-cortico loops? All the options are on the table, we know so very little.

Selectivity is v hard to come by in the cortex alone. As Braitenberg argued over 20y ago, it's basically a big associative memory network that almost certainly inherits it's functional prowess from its subcortical connections. Like the trust fund baby of the brain ;)

Don't get me wrong, I Certainly wasn't trying to exclude subcortex.

You might have read it before, but this is a good complement to Braitenburg's 'Vehicles', from Ezequiel di Paolo www.persee.fr/doc/intel_07...
