Does a neural net produce something akin to a brain wave? My wife says
that's how they determine brain activity in the hospital. After three
succesive EEGs and the wave is flat the brain is declared dead. Does this
pile of silicon produce a wave such that when it is operational it can be
said to be functioning?
