by Ben Best This essay was originally part of the series "The Anatomical Basis of Mind", available on this website as The Anatomical Basis of Mind (Neurophysiology & Consciousness). The purpose of that series was to learn & explain what is known about how neurophysiology results in the phenomena of mind&self. Further, to understand which brain/neuronal structures must be preserved to preserve mind&self. And still further, to be able to use that knowledge to suggest & evaluate cryonics and other preservation methods. This installment addresses the subject of computer-models of neural networks and the relevance of those models to the functioning brain.
