As an example of learning bias, **the ability to focus on face-like images seems to be built in**. “Face-like” however, is broadly defined. Babies are interested by pictures of faces, but they also perk up when shown pictures of faces with the features all scrambled: eyes on a diagonal below the mouth and so on.

Learning is implemented by physical changes to the neural connections in the brain. **A brain becomes organized into neural nets** that are "activated," receive "events," then may send out events to other networks. Your Brain Runs Erlang»

Saying that networks receive "events" abstracts from reality. See Brain Events.
