There is much more to knowledge of reality than sensory experience. Human discourse is full ofconcepts, including knowledge and reality, that are not directly tied to what we can see, touch, taste,smell, or hear. Philosophers, psychologists, and now neuroscientists attempt to figure out the nature ofsuch concepts. For Plato, concepts were abstract entities he called the forms, existing in someheavenly realm graspable by souls. In contemporary cognitive science, concepts are mentalrepresentations, which the previous chapter implies are brain representations. A major currentresearch problem is to figure out how patterns of neural firing play all the roles needed to explain themany cognitive uses of concepts.
