Brain translating info → a specific thought or feeling. So, after you sit down and analyze this feeling, you went backward to how your brain translated the info. In other words, lets say you felt happy after a specific interaction with someone, but you don't know why you felt happy, you sat down, and started to analyze, then afterward you figured out that because of the appreciation you got during this interaction. So, I can conclude that the brain automatically translate information in a specific way. My Q is, how do you decipher the way your brain translate info.so you can predict in the future how you gonna feel or better adapt to situations ?
The brain of each Person in the process of cognition "evaluates" this process from the point of view of utility, prospects, urgent need ... The structures of the visceral circle of emotions and feelings form the Person's attitude to the ongoing process of cognition. When forming positive emotions, a Person strives to repeat the process of cognition. With the constant formation of negative emotions, a complex process arises in the brain, which can result in a violation of brain activity.

If you focus solely on the brain, you will miss essential parts of the problem. If you back up and look at the brain as the core of a fully embodied nervous system, in constant interaction with its physical and sociocultural environments, then you can understand how cognitive processes emerge from this complex, dynamic system.
You're welcome, Mostafa. Of course the details get complicated within the general frame mentioned above, and there is much work to be done. You may find some interesting sources in a thematic bibliography I have been putting together for art students:

Scientists have picked up fragments of people's thoughts by decoding the brain activity caused by words that they hear.
The remarkable feat has given researchers fresh insight into how the brain processes language, and raises the tantalising prospect of devices that can return speech to the speechless.
Though in its infancy, the work paves the way for brain implants that could monitor a person's thoughts and speak words and sentences as they imagine them.
Such devices could transform the lives of thousands of people who lose the ability to speak as a result of a stroke or other medical conditions.
Is interesting the ask,
Well, recently (to me) watching TV casually I found the serie "BLACK MIRRORS".
This serie show something similar to this questions with several ways and senses.
If it can see, I think is other form to see this asked.
best regards,

The question is quite complicated for me. But in the realm of philosophy, I rely on Plato's concept of anamnesis or remembering. For Plato, persons have intuition. This was rebut by his student Aristotle. For Aristotle, there is nothing in the mind without passing through the senses. Thus, knowledge for Aristotle invloves processes such as phantasm, abstraction, etc... If we try to combine Plato and Aristotle's conecpts, we can infer that the brain has the capacity to analyze the data emperically gathered by our senses likewise, our brain can remember the things we have previously experienced and thus, able to reflect or introspect the pros and cons so that, we can be able to adopt if the same thing happend in the future.
I am not sure "translation" is the best word to use here. My choice would be "inference". It is beyond doubt that human beings are able to learn how to employ general logical principles from which they can infer specific information. If, like in your example, you feel happy, and you know that being appreciated makes you happy, you can hypothesize that you have just been appreciated, which you can then fact-check against your memory. If your recollection yields an event of being appreciated: Bingo, you logically inferred the cause of your feeling happy.
How the brain does this is very much an open question. In my opinion, the specific question to aks here is this: How is logical inference implemented neurally? Perhaps the most popular answer in philosophy right now is that the brain works like a computer: Logical principles of certain kinds are implemented in the brain the way a computer implements algorithms (see https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/computational-mind/). But that is just one of many theories, and it does not say too much about the neural structures underlying computation either. So, all of this is really just the start of further investigation.
