Abstract :
A functional approach to brain processing is introduced associated with control models, in which `observer´ models of effectors and other parts of the external world are used for improved processing. These models are briefly applied to higher cognitive processes (working memory and attention) using the presence of a monitor system, so as to lead to a general framework for analysing brain function
