What is and what is not a theory of context correlations - Response - Temporal association in a feed-forward framework

This short paper is a response to a comment appearing in this issue of Netw ork: Computation in Neural Systems by Daniel Amit. I address issues raised in Amit's commentary on an earlier article of mine, explaining where misund erstandings have arisen and tackling points of genuine contention. I go on to explain why my model presents a more physiologically complete and consis tent picture of processing in the temporal lobe during the recognition of f amiliar objects and images.
