Stefan, I probably have more neuroscience background than anyone else on this list, possibly excepting Colin, having worked as a research assistant in the Department of Neurological Surgery at the University of Washington, so I suggest caution when challenging me in that venue.
I might also be the only one on this list who has actually held a job as a mathematician at a university department (University of Washington Physics and Astronomy Department). You appear to be clueless in this venue, at least as it intersects with neuroscience. My long-term goal is to fuse mathematics, neuroscience, and computer science into a single effort leading to AGI and beyond. Please excuse my talking down to this audience - in my possibly hopeless efforts to guide this fusion. My main impediment seems to be the few talented people in each of those disciplines who ignorantly dismiss the value of those in the other disciplines. People like you, who see things that obviously are part of the function of neurosystems, but can't (yet?) grok their mathematical significance, so they can apply this understanding to their programming. There are others like you in the other disciplines - like Colin, who immediately dismissed the prospect of ANY sort of mathematics operating in neurons, etc. So, like a fisherman with his line out, I continue looking for people with "a light in the attic". It appears that my posting was wasted on you. My condolences.
