It's not that complicated. It doesn't need scientists to peer review it. The general public can review it and decide.

The brain works like the internet.
I love this quote from the article:
You would be amazed at how much of the current experimental neuroscience literature is dominated by 'top down-bottom up thinking', which goes back to the 19th Century, especially in neurology," Professor Swanson told BBC News.
This article was published on the 10th of August. On the 9th of August we all believed in the hirearchical model. Guess we were wrong. Now we'll believe this bit until, I suppose, October, then it will be something else.
The third part of my paper that deals with the absurdity of intelligent neuronal triggers is not really affected by this finding. But thanks for posting the link.
