“As an ultimate example of emergence, consider your own consciousness that is emerging from the connections of neurons in your brain.”

— Rich Jolly

There are many levels of organization in nervous systems. Hence we aim to explain mechanisms at one level in terms of properties and dynamics…

“Our surmises regarding the subtle functions of neural processes within the brain are profoundly constrained by the fact that the brain did not evolve…

But the newest research is showing that many properties of the brain are genetically organized, and don't depend on information coming in from the…
