Very few research labs in neuroscience are working on theory.
There is a vast body of literature, measurements, experiments, etc. on the brain, but most have given up on trying to assemble these facts into some theory.
Time (obviously) plays a crucial role in the brain, but has been overlooked by previous theories.
There is a constant flow of new input. There is no way to understand the brain or intelligence without understanding the temporal patterns.
The idea that the brain is “processing images” is a misleading concept.
