What is a computational moment within the predicting brain?
This is what distinguishes social reality as a 'human superpower'.
What is communicating purely mental concepts through language?

What is lack of brain wiring for sensory integration?

What are advanced senses of hearing and smell?
This is the best defense against affective realism, according to Feldman-Barrett.
