Abstract
It is undeniable that it is a brain activity that describes brain activities. Bypassing any diagonalisation trap [Roger, 1967], this paper starts from this evidence to try to describe in parallel the physiology and the functionalities of the human brain. As it is, this is a very ambitious and vast job which in any case would be difficult to be compressed in the present few pages. Rather we will aim at isolating an elementary prototypal subsystem of the brain where we recognise relevant physiological features that we try to relate with relevant cognitive phenomena.
