Should I cite here textbooks about how e/m pulse propagates from eye retina cells and ear receptor cells (of a helicopter pilot) to various neuron cells, then cite how a neuron works (output signal frequency = proportional to sum of input signals), and how then motor neurons pass e/m pulses to palm muscle cells turning helocopter joystick left to avoid a bird flock?

Or you are more interested in understanding how after receiving a dangerous mission assignement a week ago and carefully analysed all available "con" and "pro" information, the pilot's brain eventually decided to fly not directly from A to B, but around that mountain forest where guerillas may hide?

Or why pilot's brain decided to ask about reassigning this mission to someone else just because he has only 5 days left to honorable discharge from army?

Or how a severe thunderstorm developed (and the mission was cancelled by general's brain)?
