| Here, it is important that a WBA model is constructed so that it can perform more than one generic class of tasks (as WBA aims for AGI). |

At least the ventral stream consists of a cascade of cortical regions, forming a 'deep' network.\\ A WBA model would also have to take into account the fact that the cascade is richly bi-directional with afferent and efferent connections. | At least the ventral stream consists of a cascade of cortical regions, forming a 'deep' network.\\ A WBA model would also have to take into account the fact that the cascade is richly bi-directional with afferent and efferent connections. |
