dhw: Many processes are, of course, automatic (e.g. the work of the senses) as I keep acknowledging. But the question is how the information gained is then applied, and the problem for you is that we can only study the physiological manifestations of mental processes. You are aware of this when it comes to human thought, and indeed you criticize neuroscientists who believe brain activity to be the source of mental activity as opposed to being the receiver of it. You even go so far as to acknowledge that the behaviour of brainless micro-organisms appears to be intelligent, and the articles you quote (like this one) often show you that it actually is, but you cling to your prejudices. - If we could discover a seat of intelligence in micro-organisms I would agree with you.
