Efferent copy and corollary discharge do explain more in depth how the brain functions. Patterns of activity, actions and reactions, movement, behavior, it's all starting to become clear. However there is still something I do not understand. I still don't get how all this adds up to me, to us, to a thinking, individual person. Where does intelligence fit in? Or personality? Where am I in my own brain? I simply still do not understand how the interactions of chemicals and charges gives me the ability to think of a post or appreciate poetry. 

I understand it but I don't get it. Seeing, thinking, it should make sense, but I still feel like we are missing large pieces of the puzzle. I look forward to seeing if these pieces are all filled in by the end of this class.
