Transparallel Processing in The Brain
Visually relevant regularities are regularities the brain is attuned to. Considering that these regularities lend themselves for transparallel processing in computers, transparallel processing might also be a form of processing in the brain.
The brain is a network consisting of many interconnected neurons which can be said to process biochemical information. A growing body of evidence, however, suggests that cognitive information processing is mediated by transient assemblies of neurons, which signal their presence by synchronous firing of the neurons involved. This neural synchronization is required neither for (sub)serial processing nor for parallel processing, but it might be a manifestation of transparallel processing in those neural assemblies which can be seen as neural analogues of hyperstrings.

Famous quotes containing the word brain:
“To accuse another of having weak kidneys, lungs, or heart, is not a crime; on the contrary, saying he has a weak brain is a crime. To be considered stupid and to be told so is more painful than being called gluttonous, mendacious, violent, lascivious, lazy, cowardly: every weakness, every vice, has found its defenders, its rhetoric, its ennoblement and exaltation, but stupidity hasn’t.”
—Primo Levi (1919–1987)
