At the connection linking one iran to another the signal has to bridge a tiny gap known as the synoptic left before continuing on. There is no one Central Location in the brain where a thought is developed we think by an entire network of neurons distributed across the brain. So detecting a single thought isnt easy but computers are learning to do just that. Getting ready to pl
