Callatay, and Reecke & Edelman have produced elaborate neural network 
based models of the brain.  Does anyone know what these people are 
up to at this very moment?.  Are they still working on these models? 
Did these models go anywhere?  i.e. is anyone else working on them?

I know that Crick wasn't too impressed by Edelman's work, but then 
I don't see that Crick has come up with too much.  I believe I read 
somewhere that Crick and Koch had changed their minds about 
their 40Hz attention mechanism.
