Topic 2.4
How does Linguistics' concept of 'phonemes' parallel our understanding of action potentials in neural firing?
Phoneme mutation indicates changes in the intensity of an action potential over time and space.
Action potentials have distinct "accents" like phonemes across different languages.
Phonetic transcription techniques can be used to record action potentials.
Both phonemes and action potentials represent fundamental, indivisible units within their respective systems.
