Nunez is to be applauded for putting forward a theoretical brain model. In
order to improve any model it needs to be experimentally testable. The mode
l presented in the target article suffers from insufficient clarity as to h
ow new experimental designs could be derived. This is a consequence of negl
ecting the purpose of the brain, which is to produce effective and adaptive
behavior. It might be possible to overcome this drawback by including Hebb
-based modeling.
