From: The nature of “internal sensations” of higher brain functions may be derived from the design rules for artificial machines that can produce them

Figure 3

Cartoon showing overlapping sensory receptors that identify the nature of the induced semblions. Associative learning of stimulus P with stimulus Q induces inter-postsynaptic functional LINKs at different neuronal orders from 1 to 6 (shown within the yellow triangle). During memory retrieval by the cue stimulus Q, large number of inter-postsynaptic functional LINKs within the yellow triangle area gets re-activated and semblions at their corresponding postsynapses are induced (represented by blue-colored triangles). The maximum overlap of sensory receptors (shown as a red line at the level of sensory receptors) represents the overlap or integral of the semblions, resulting in internal sensation.
