The brain constructs multimodal summaries of sensory and motor features that represent abstract concepts like threat, reward, and pleasure.

“those features are things like they are they are multimodal summaries meaning they are summaries of the sights and sounds and smells and right but they and they are lower dimensional meaning they are they're coarser so there are things like threat reward pleasure I mean really abstract that's what abstract means it doesn't mean that those representations have no sensory or motor meaning it means that threat for example a summary can have many different patterns associated with it and the brain is treating them all as equivalent”
