My impression is that all of these centers deal with the sensory data directly, but the last one(s) - the primary visual cortices - then send information to the cognitive-processing centers, at least some of which will be distinct from TTBS (though perhaps there's a higher concentration of TTBS in the frontal lobe relative to other parts of the brain, but that's a research question and I can't address it).But then things get more complicated. For example, eyesight have 5 different centers iirc. Only the first one is directly dealing with sensory information, while the last ones are sending data that reaches the conciousness.
You've made a mistake. There is no difference between consciousness-systems and reflex-systems such as you lay out. In your example, what we see is the difference between cerebral processing and spinal-cord processing. Of course the latter is faster than the former: that's the utility of it. The former is slower because it will by definition be slower, consciousness or no consciousness - there's more distance to travel, more stages to pass through. This is no surprise, and has nothing to do with consciousness or TTBS.Yes. It's evident in sports or any meassurement of reaction times. Even something very simple, like running when the gun is shot, it won't happen until it reaches conciousness. The conciousness lag is the reason why we see them stand still for a moment before they react.
Reflex systems are faster. Pre-conciousness systems are faster (that's why people who sees the number 6 as yellow will find the black 6 as fast as a normal person sees a yelllow 6. The coloration occurs pre-conciously).
Outside reflex responses, things never happens faster than the time it takes for something to reach conciousness.
We simply cannot use our own metacognitive intuitions in investigating metacognition; it's like using a suspect as a witness at his own trial.You've never had conflict of intererest in your mind?
To be clear: it is not self-evident that the TTBS is primarily, or even substantially, involved in so-called executive function. Don't conflate TTBS with some ultimate 'sorter and decision-maker'. And there is no need to say that the TTB systems act as an aggregate - they could well be functionally independent, each processing their own inputs and dumping their own outputs into the rest of the brain.TTBS A says we should do one thing, TTBS B says we should do another.

To culminate in a single ineluctable result, the combined might of all TTBS needs to be processed. The conciousness is the combined might of all TTBS.
Single ineluctable result formula: Stimulus-set X over time-period Y mediated through brain cells of a given structure and composition A can and will produce only one result (e.g. a particular motor response). Now, if you keep X and Y constant and repeat them, you will get various results, but in each case there will be "one ineluctable result". There, the difference is that the configuration of neurons, synapses, chemicals, and so on has changed from A to A', or A'', or A''', or whatever.I was more thinking that those actions are ran by a single agent or TTBS, but can be changed or ran by the whole TTBS structure, if the TTBS culminate in a single ineluctable result.
Hmm... I would need to hear more detail.They do have the same TTBS on sight as us for example.
