    ABSTRACT:: The higher functions of the brain are believed to occur in
               the cortex. This region of the brain is modelled as a memory
               surface which performs both storage and computation. Concepts
               are modelled as patterns of activity on the memory surface,
               and the model explains how these patterns interact with one
               another to give the computations which the brain performs.
               The method of interaction can explain the formation of
               abstract concepts, association of ideas and train of thought.
               It is shown that creativity, self, consciousness and free
               will are explainable within the same framework. A theory of
               sleep is presented which is consistent with the model.
