neuronand
Neuronand is a neologism used in discussions of neural computation and cognitive science to describe a hypothetical unit that combines inputs from two or more neurons to produce an emergent coding of joint activity. It is not a standard term in neuroscience or artificial intelligence, and there is no universally accepted mathematical definition or formal model associated with it.
Conceptually, neuronand can be interpreted in two broad ways. One interpretation views it as a combinational
In practice, the term appears mainly in theoretical or speculative discussions rather than in standard curricula
Critics caution that the lack of a precise definition can hinder communication and comparability across studies.
