I've always wondered how the brain works and how neuron firing patterns work. Although the work done in this talk describe regions of the brain, it still looks like a 2 yr old coloring a picture of a brain. I think that you could even map this down to the neuronal level, although that would be a lot of work. I also think that neurons can be used for multiple purposes and they could be related or not depending on not only the firing sequence but also the intensity of those firings. We'll see if I'm right as time moves on.
