I find the biological

I find the biological explanation of the the nervous system in the previous class to be illuminating. The fact that the nervous system is capable of moving on its own is quite fascinating. I'm interested to find out more implications of this knowledge. To what extent can we say this self-sufficient movement is knowledge-producing? I'm not sure how much the nervous signal can tell us about what it is doing exactly. 

 

I'm curious whether there are "form-forming" parts of our brain? As noted by Gestalt psychologist and evident in our daily experience, we tend to see our sensual data in organized forms: shapes instead of linear elements and colors instead of pixels.
