But the beauty of the brain is it's ability to integrate, through association, information from any source. So even if there are entire brain regions dedicated to a specific task, involving hundreds of layers and transformations, their output still collapses down to neurons firing, and those neurons can be associated with the output neurons from another system.When you say associated, what is the nature of that association? How is it that these different systems are brought into relation in the experience of a single mind?
People are associated, too. We are communicating symbols through words all the time. Does this coordination mean that there is a supermind of which we are all part?
