Neuroscience has long been a field of divide and conquer. Researchers typically map specific cognitive functions to isolated brain regions—like motion to area V5 or faces to the fusiform gyrus—using models tailored to narrow experimental paradigms. While this has provided deep insights, the resulting landscape is fragmented, lacking a unified framework to explain how the
