Talk about misleading... obviously these two tasks alone don't account for 116% of the brain's power. The neocortex is all the same part of the brain--yes it can loosely be delineated into segments, but it is pretty pointless to say the whole brain is involved when really the neocortex is just distributing its inputs along its length in the process of searching for the appropriate cortical columns.

- simonh 5y agoYou have made it misleading by taking it out of the context of the article which explains how that works.
