- Vardhan 13y agoI don't think he meant that in the literal sense, hence the quotes. The brain's "programming language" refers more the to the idea of what makes the brain's biological structure work to produce human perception.
- quomopete 13y agoI realize that, I made my comment towards this being a metaphor and I still stand by it.
- tremols 13y agoIts true, but there are even fields of science based almost entirely on assumptions. Even then, there is a neuroscience branch called neural coding that apparently acknowledges the existence of a neural code; but judging from the wikipedia entry their approach seems still too "low level".
