*Back-brain and front-brain. *In simple terms, the back part of the cortex
takes raw information from the senses and processes it into sight, sound
and physical sensation. This gives us perceptual awareness — the ability to
experience the world directly, to have real-time concrete images, feelings,
names, facts, data and other practical details.
While the back brain produces instinctive stimulus-response reactions, the
front brain facilitates decisions based on association and analysis.
The front brain also receives input from the back brain to relate it into
categories, relationships and patterns. These units of meaning aren't
perceptual. They're conceptual. In other words, the front part of the
cortex "makes sense" of perceptions created by the back part of the cortex.
Images, facts, emotions and other perceptual input are related to each
other. These associations are stored in long-term memory as "knowledge" -
meaningful conceptual patterns.
