The use of cortical field potentials rather than the details of spike trains as the basis for cognitive information processing is proposed. This results in a space of cognitive elements with natural metrics. Sets of spike trains may also be considered to be points in a multidimensional metric space. The closeness of sets of spike trains in such a space implies the closeness of points in the resulting function space of potential distributions.
