not fully true,

we do have knowledge of how brain functions to some extant. the study Suggest that processing of the information in brain is done by the means of neurons which has the firing speed of degree 1e-3 seconds. by definition brain is a highly parallel non-linear computer. even thouth single neuron propgates the signal to the dendrite(neuro receptor) of next neuron in 1 milliseconds parallelism of brain makes the brain the fastest computer in the world. there are mathematical models of neurons. Now many many scientist there trying to immitate the functioning of brain.

CMM or corellation Matrix memory is such kind of immitation. as the name sugges its an asociative memory that means the access in the memory will be on basis of contetnt itself not the address. this memory learn and then recalls the patterns later.
