Star Trek makes many references to "neural patterns" and "neural nets" and any number of things "neural". All pertain to references to brain physiology including the neural gel packs of the USS Voyager (which was a distributed processing system distinct from the computer core). It can be surmised that the "neural patterns" are ascertained with medical technology well in advance of early 21st Century technology that can only detect brain activity with crude MRI devices and brain waves with even less advanced encephalography.

Star Trek makes many references to "neural patterns" and "neural nets" and any number of things "neural". All pertain to references to brain physiology including the neural gel packs of the USS Voyager (which was a distributed processing system distinct from the computer core). It can be surmised that the "neural patterns" are ascertained with medical technology well in advance of early 21st Century technology that can only detect brain activity with crude MRI devices and brain waves with even less advanced encephalography.
