Can we say that cognition, the acquisition of knowledge, is a byproduct of motor control?

Could there be a very important part for chronology and sequences impregnation of the environment to be able to do prediction?

Thanks for the great talk!

fantastic and beautiful talk !

Extremely interesting ideas, Paul! Thanks for presenting them today!

Yes thank you

Thank you for the very interesting talk! Question: how can this framework inform methodology to discover/explore functional circuits in the brain?

Thank you for a very stimulating talk!

Thank you Paul!

When we consider the ways evolution has moulded the body - I mean, that an organism does not develop arms alongside wings - from where does the idea come that when evolution moulds the brain it’s not that the structure is adjusted for new functions fully, but that it builds additional parts upon already existing ones?

I am curious if you have any thoughts on how the evolution of the brain tackled the task of interacting with the environment vs the task of interacting with other brains, and how this may have influenced the organization of the brain

Why did avian species evolved basal ganglia and mammals cortex?

What other organs than the brain that were/can understood using the phylogenetic approach? Is our current understanding of the function of the heart, for example, phylogenetically plausible?

Thanks a lot! Can you spell the author of the book on avian brain evolution again, please?

thank you for this mind-stimuling presentation Dr Cisek and thank you for organizing Dr Pessoa 🙂 i have to go…

Do you have any opinion on whether Emotions might better be viewed as exaptation's via language and other deliberation faculties on this view (via LeDouxs recent ideas) ?

General question: what kind of evidence is there for the argument that we (humans) may have evolved capacities for music/song prior to formal language?

Thanks a lot!!!

Will you share the recording ? my email is Devoyault@yahoo.com So much rich information!

What do you think about the role of neurotransmitters in evolution? Can you recommend any literature on this topic?

Global Workspace Theory might be a nice way to integrate hierarchical decision-like processes with a 'stage' at which certain neural processes become available for global cross-model interaction/control

I have to run to another meeting, but fabulous talk Paul. I would typically ask something abut the differentiation and development of chemical signaling systems. For example, I would think that there were ways of generating behaviorally salient shifts in processing by differentiating chemical signals (e.g., divergence of oxytocin & vasopressin; re-use of these molecules for social coalition tracking and social support, etc). And I wonder where these fit in your approach. Sorry I didn’t get an opportunity to ask about that.

Why deny cognition?If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, then it’s probably a duck. If we recognise something as cognition that looks like cognition and works like cognition, why not recognise it as cognition? Why leave it to dualism?-

Eduardo Kohn - How Forests Think is a thought provoking book that touches on notion of the self and machines vs life

Thank you. :)

Thank you!

Thanks for this amazing session! ✨

Thank you!

Thanks!

Thank you all!

Thanks for a great talk Paul. Fascinating ideas

Thanks very much!

Thanks Paul! Thanks Luiz for organizing!

Fantastic talk and discussion, thanks you all!

Thank you so much, I'm always so impressed with Mr. Cisek studies
