End-to-end cognition (challenge) - ANSWER- given some input, how do I get to some output
Module integration (challenge) - ANSWER- the mind is made up of many modules, how do
these modules fit together
Structure-to-function (challenge) - ANSWER- how do we answer functional problems given
physical structures--> algorithms (David Marr)
Theoretical unification (challenge) - ANSWER- understanding how one broad theory can
