Sensory input leads to motor output. This is a passive view. I suggest that we can take a more active view by emphasizing circuitry in the middle, the central pattern generator (CPG)....

...re dust. Personally, I don't see the world (this world or the spiritual one) as dualistic. Duality doesn't explain everything, and no matter how you try, you cannot fit everything in life (or nature for that matter) into it's box. Religions that subscribe to the veiw of duality only tend to use their god as a prybar to get whatever they want out of someone else... which to be truthful,...

A normal distribution is generally described as "bell shaped." In a normal distribution, the mean, the median, and the mode are all the same. The distribution of incomes is an exaggerated reverse J shape, which is to say, ...
