Bergson allegedly said that the brain is the
coat hook of the mind ("das Gehirn ist der
Kleiderhaken des Geistes"), but I can't pin
down the origin of this quote.
In modern language, one could say that the brain
is like a wire frame model or polygon mesh of the
mind: the vertices correspond to neural assemblies,
and the edges to connections betwen them.
Are these metaphors useful?
