Recognition Networks What do you see? specialized to sense and assign meaning to patterns we see; they enable us to identify and understand information, ideas, and concepts.

Strategic Networks Identify the ages of the people. specialized to generate and oversee mental and motor patterns. They enable us to plan, execute, and monitor actions and skills.
