This might degenerate into semantics, like most other discussion of
consciousness, but how would you know where cognition is? How would you
know it is even localizable anywhere? The massive backprojections (that are
10 times more numerous for auditory cortex) to Thalamus from Cortex shows
you that it's not just a question of information being sent to cortex for
processing there and nothing else.
