Oh... and this is misleading also...
breathing/heart rate (and more other "bodily functions" that you don't have to think about) = brainstem
seeing = occipital lobe (pretty big area, bit still just the back)
Feeling- did you mean emotions (limbic system [i.e., subcortical]) or sense of touch? (parietal lobe)
By the way, these regions are so heavily networked that it is really disingenuous to split it up like this, but at the same time, shows why the "10%" thing is problematic. Even when doing the simplest tasks, you have to recruit enormous brain networks...
