Could you explain? HD refers to metaphysical items, not applicable to physically measured data on brain (neuronal? or other) tissues. I feel I am out of the HD domain. The "M E A S U R E D" (measurable) physical/physiological data cannot assign TOPICAL content as of a mental activity. You have to START with a topic (invent one you apply) to force 'changes' into it by the data. Or: you can do it afterwards as well.
