Stochastic Pattern Recognition Dramatically Outperforms Conventional Techniques 14 years ago
Stochastic computing is not used by current digital technologies. About the processing in the brain is complex to know exactly what's happens there. Probably there is a synergy between chaotic and ordered behaviors. In Nature Procedings you can find a pre-print paper of the same authors talking about this point. http://precedings.nature.com/documents/6935/version/1
