They did and I'm not against it in principle but it did read a bit like I understand this better than neuroscientists because its just like computer systems and my understanding from neuroscientists is that these sub systems they outline in papers are highly contested and more like how you would model their function rather than actually how they work.

The one thing they seem to say consistently is that the analogy to computer systems work is flawed and the brain works very differently but it's very far from anything I understand so take that with a pinch of salt.
