What is the real
BrainLanguage
? For instance an fMRI study in speech production identifies areas of brain activity but is there a simple way to encode these sequences? A formalism to describe sequences of firing in the different areas? Seems first one needs to understand the labelling of areas. The real
BrainMapping
. Not at the Neuronal level initially, since fMRI is currently only at a 100,000 neuron resolution per pixel, but for instance BA 19 and BA 22 in
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=PubMed&list_uids=11192634&dopt=Abstract
Something like BA19(1 mSec)=>BA12(0.2 mSec)=>... I am not saying that is the sequence implied in the paper, but I am trying to visualize something like it - I just fired BA20(0.3 mSec)=>BA21(0.5 mSec)=>... to see it in my mind's eye :-). Seems it is a dance of patterns, almost could use something like
LabaNotation
. Whatever.
