A set of equations seeking to model the way the cortex interacts with subcortical areas to produce certain higher-level brain functions is described. The equations are those of a network of parametrically coupled maps that incorporates salient properties of the cortex. Justifications for this approach and demonstration of its effectiveness for a parametrically coupled logistic map network (PCLMN) are presented. The PCLMN can self organize under information driven adaptation, is capable of handling dynamic (spatio-temporal) input patterns, furnishes an enormous number of attractors for inputs to choose from, plus other intriguing features that can be used in the design of intelligent systems.
