Secondly, I'm still wondering about the representations of goals in the brain. So far, there has been no study showing the neurobiological basis of 'goal' in the human brain. As far as we know, it's folk psychology anyway, and it might not be 'true', since there's no hard physical evidence of the existence of goals. I'm talking about bottom-up existence, not top-down (top being "us", humans and our social contexts and such).
Look at "The Brain's Urge System" at ChangingMinds.org <http://changingminds.org/explanations/brain/urge_system.htm>: . Notice that the stimulus can be "pure thought". Meaning that a mental image of a goal-state can form the basis of urge-desire-action.
