Note: What we have here is a comma splice. I've noticed that this is a frequent grammar error that you make while writing so I encourage you to take note of this. A comma splice is the use of a comma between two independent clauses and it is not grammatically correct.
An independent clause is a group of words that contains a subject and verb and expresses a complete thought. "Our conscious thoughts follow the same trajectory" is an independent clause. "They are the filtered, calculated and translated" is also an independent clause.
You can usually fix the comma splice error by changing the comma to a period and therefore making the two clauses into two separate sentences, by changing the comma to a semicolon, or using conjunctions such as "and", "or", and "but."
