I have been interested in looking for a language that can descript cognitive processes in the brain. What I have learned so far is there are three cognitive stages in the brain as shown in the below figure. However, I still do not know the following questions:
Are there other stages we have not discovered (or I do not know)?
Where is the conciseness functionally located?
Where is the emotion functionally located?
What do we mean by “think” in the brain? Is the inference happening there?

For job talks, in 5 mins we need to show that you have
Vision: which is in part, a problem that somebody cares about and something new in your approach

It’s been great fun being here;
It’s been fascinating to see what you folks are doing here at MIT
I’ve been much stimulated and provoked by the questions you’ve been asking; it’s been really great, and I look forward to coming back on many occasions in the future
