This research from Yuste's lab is really refreshing to me and probably more appealing to the HN audience than a lot of other neuroscience research. The main reason is that it focuses on how the brain carries out information processing and tests predictions made by theoretical and mathematical models of neuroscience proposed ages ago, e.g. Hebbian cell assemblies, attractor networks (Grossberg, Amari, Hopfield, et al.). And of course, there's a feedback loop here that further informs these theoretical models. I believe Numenta uses some of these principals in their models.
