Caption notes
Sebastian Seung proposes looking for neural sequences in a connectome and predicting the activity pattern during recall. A second kind of observation could test the prediction independently of the wiring map.

So one way of trying to test the theory is to look for such chains inside connectomes.the sequence of the neurons we recover from that unscrambling will be a prediction of the pattern of neural activity that is replayed in the brain during memory recall.
