Cognition is an emergent property.

Cognition relies on the flexible organization of neural activity. In this discussion, we explore how many aspects of this organization can be described as emergent properties, not reducible to their constituent parts. We discuss how electrical fields in the brain can serve as a medium for propagating activity nearly instantaneously, and how population-level patterns of neural activity can organize computations through subspace coding.
