The author of the above article would like to make a correction to the following text. This originally read:

“The brain achieves complexity through ‘degeneracy’ (Edelman and Gally, 2001), the capacity for dissimilar representations (e.g. different sets of neurons) to give rise to instances of the same category (e.g. anger) in different contexts (i.e. many-to-one mappings of structure to function).”

But should be:

“The brain achieves complexity through ‘degeneracy’ (Edelman and Gally, 2001), the capacity for dissimilar representations (e.g. different sets of neurons) to give rise to instances of the same category (e.g. anger) in the same context (i.e. many-to-one mappings of structure to function).”

This has been corrected in the article.
