Brain Drain, Neurobabble ?


Scruton's intelligent critique defines current limits and points to fundamental issues in neuroscience  http://www.spectator.co.uk/essays/all/7714533/brain-drain.thtml
We have to recognize that up today consciousness didn't emerge from spike timing dogma http://neuroelectrodynamics.blogspot.com/p/from-spike-timing-dogma-to.html or any other algorithmic model. Indeed, we have inherited reductionist models and a chronic failure to solve real  problems in neuroscience
Turing made an important step forward; however, there is no need to limit physical models of computation to Turing models. 
 While ‘weak’ interactions between neurons may be algorithmically approximated, ‘strong’ interactions that occur inside neurons during action potential generation remained unmodeled.  Since the brain's computing power has its origins in these ‘strong’ interactions,  current models  tell myths about the brain and have missed the most important part. 
 The powerful ‘super-Turing’ model of computation  by physical interaction http://neuroelectrodynamics.blogspot.com/p/computing-by-interaction.html
gives rise to memory based experience and  provides the basis of cognition and consciousness  http://neuroelectrodynamics.blogspot.com/p/cognition-and-consciousness.html
