Like a sending a signal to another part of a brain is a behavior in that it is the brain doing something, an event.
Which is not what the behaviorists had in mind.
Right.
They didn't they they didn't think you could s but that's why these neural guys are like, We don't have to be behaviorists.
That's like treating the the organism and the brain like a black box.
We let's just analy look it look in the box and talk about what is happening in the box.
And th there we go.

All right, why don't
Pearley, uh nineteen ninety eight, makes a persuasive case for taking the hard question seriously in somewhat different terms.
The self and its surrogates, the Cartesian res cogitant, the Cartesian transcendental ego, among others.
is not to be located by subtraction, by peeling off the various layers of perceptual and motor interface between itself and world.

On the contrary, the self is large, concrete, and visible in the world, not just distributed in the brain, but spread out into the world.

As she notes, the very content of perception can change while keeping input constant by changes of output.
Uh yeah, we'd have to look what she's talking about exactly.
