what is thought?
Why does having all "thought" in the neocortex suggest that we can control our thoughts? Maybe because our thoughts are sort of not directly responding to stimulus, but have space (in the interneurons?) to process whatever input or output our nervous system deals with?
Are our "thoughts" actually just interneurons?
There's that self-help adage saying that the only thing we have control of is how we react to a situation - we cannot control the input, but the output is within our grasp and we are able to change the way we think about and react to situations. Is this true? Are the interneurons within our control or does the nervous system (mind not included - because who knows what the mind is...) control our thoughts?
Lars - how did you stop yourself from generating thoughts about the input you were receiving? It seems like it would be extremely difficult to feel a sensation and not form a thought (is sensation thought anyway?)...
