Christine A. Skarda and Walter J. Freeman, 1987.
Note: Skarda and Freeman use similar reasoning to dispute the "Rule-Following Assumption" Box 46 (because neurons don't follow rules) and the central aspects of "The Brain Has a Von Neumann Architecture" Box 12 (because neural activity is self-organizing). They also argue against representation in general, with its assumption of the existence of plans, goals, scripts and so forth. |
