I agree but don’t see how that implies brain doesnt have both localized and distributed computation (my main claim). If anything, wouldn't an alternative visuomotor pathways for gripping in DF be evidence of distributed function and inability to discriminate width evidence of local computation?

of course not all brain does all things. and region x can do y, but with lots of help from other regions lots of upstream outputs. and region x can do other things too. distributed computation and localization of function live happily together in such a complex system

so then cant brain both be highly distributed and have localization of function? lesioned brain area can be necessary for some function but many other areas are also helping provide necessary inputs. I dont see how there is a dichotomy here.

Yes! I think this is because there is something satisfying about mapping a complex system to physical intuition. Idk how to say it but it feels very tangible when most things in modeling are very abstract like a graph nn or smth

All cortex?

great work! nice job with open-sourcing code and data too, was very impressed by this

do you think we need revolutionary new neurotech for this domain specialization to flourish? or do you think the existing tech + current progress is already bringing us in the right direction?

Thank you for posting this. Saw the original discussion and couldn’t understand it but this helped
