This is a bizarre suggestion, and a surprising one given the implied
authority of the source.  Or are you just teasing poor Toby--you know,
"ask a silly question, get a silly answer?"

Not to denigrate Hebb, a noted Canadian whose ideas have inspired all
of us, but this cannot be a serious answer.

A proper answer to ANYONE who bleats such a formless and helpless
overly-broad question is: do a litle bit of basic reading on the
subject, and try to frame a more specific and useful question. If the
query comes from a student, studying at an institution with a library,
the student should ask the librarian to suggest something (e.g. an
elementary text) WHICH IS AVAILABLE IN THAT LIBRARY--a better start
than getting email references to things at a level beyond the beginner
or not easily found.

Having seen the postings of one person offering his/her webpage on the 
subject, I would suggest Toby avoid it and avoid its hopeless confusion
before learning that minimum which might (might) innocculate the naive
against that confusion.
