neurons carry roughly independent information
1 neuron usually carries c. 0.4 bits
so that encoding power goes up exponentially
how much information does temporal synchronisation add?
he thinks not very much (quantified with cross-correlation)
receptive fields of IT neurons �� when there are other objects in the scene
first spike after a stimulus � but the brain doesn't know which the first is
Koch potential affecting nearby neurons
10 micron electrode doesn't see correlations
would be insignificant in computational contribution anyway
change blindness � visuospatial scratchhpad, held while fixating elsewhere
perhaps there are separate object and subject grammatical databases, explicitly representing syntax
gap junction

thinking about own syntactic/linguistic states, long-term planning if monkeys can do syntactic manipulaiton on symbols
why isn't synaptic organisation a type of syntax???
