Just to clarify: Ben said:
"However, I'll say now that neurons are basically nodes and synapses are basically links, so it's clear that a node-link data structure in itself isn't way off..." The point that Pribram and other similar minded cognitive neuroscientists make is that the neuron is NOT the processing unit. It is the receptive fields that form a sensor array and then it is neuronal assembles and regional functional units (such as frontal lobes). They all work together. The Gabor (Fourier) transforms an energy spectrum that covers all of the physical reality involved in being situated in time and space. This is complex, not simple phenomenon and would, by definition, provide a halting condition to any serial computing device. Why? Because "a = a" would become an indeterminate relationship at least once. Rough sets and fuzzy logic go after this indeterminate relationship directly, but rough sets assume stratification and fuzzification does not. (I think that Zadeh agrees with me on this.) The neurons are a type of transportation system the feeds the metabolic processes. To not see this is to avoid stratification and physics. The correspondence comes from the stratified process establishing an open loop process that involves all levels of physical reality. Walter Freeman has the best work on this....
