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:
“When Western people train the mind, the focus is generally on the left hemisphere of the cortex, which is the portion of the brain that is concerned with words and numbers. We enhance the logical, bounded, linear functions of the mind. In the East, exercises of this sort are for the purpose of getting in tune with the unconscious—to get rid of boundaries, not to create them.”
—Edward T. Hall (b. 1914)
