Abstract: This paper illustrates how a computer model, based on Venn-networks,
mimics a physiological phenomenon present in brains of higher animals:
contra-lateral inhibition. The experiments were carried out by utilizing the
GVNS, i.e. Generalized Venn-network Simulator. The data-set utilized in all
simulations consisted of digital representations of finger positions of a piano
player when performing a Mozart sonata. Results show that it is possible
for the referred computer model to simultaneously exhibit topological network
activations while controlling a simple task such as 'moving fingers' as well as
incorporating contra-lateral like inhibition.
