>Predictably, holographic talk provokes hot controversy. I recall not
>   long ago delivering a lecture on the subject, when out of the audience
>   jumped a neuropharmacologist, trembling with rage, demanding to know:
>   "How can you account for something like Broca's area?" He was     
>   referring to a part of the cerebrum known for 100 years to be     
>   vulnerable to stroke accompanied by the loss of speech. I cleared my  
>   throat to answer. But before I had the chance, a young
>   psychophysicist, sprawled in a front-row seat, whipped his 
>3
>   shoulder-length mane around and fired back, "You can't draw beer out
>   of a barrel without a bung!" 
>   
>It was a perceptive reply. For in holographic theory, functional  
>   centers such as Broca's area represent processing stations rather than
>   storage depots. Rage, fear, hunger centers, the visual cortex at the
>   back of the brain, or auditory areas at the sides--these would act not
>   to house specialized information but to PUMP it in or to call out
>   programs in the form, say, of snarl, smile, utterance, equation, kiss,
