“…For example, in the "cutting the cake" scenario, very different objects such as a plate, a tape measure, or a dental floss, when they are used as an Instrument of cutting, should access the same pattern of neuronal activity coding the requirement <the Instrument of the cutting action must have a sturdy sharp edge>. Interestingly, electrophysiological studies in non-human primates have already obtained some evidence that prefrontal neurons display such discrete pattern of response to categories of visual stimuli (Freedman et al, 2001(Freedman et al, , 2002(Freedman et al, , 2003 and match-mismatch relationships (Wallis et al, 2001;Wallis et al, 2003) that are defined by their functional relevance (for a review see Miller et al, 2002;Miller et al, 2003). …”
