Information and linguistic neural codes

Information creation, according to Claude Shannon, “is essentially a speech act in which an intelligence, to advance a purpose, articulates an item of information and then broadcasts it.” In general, William A. Dembski has stated that all instances of information creation can be represented in language, the universal medium for bringing purposes to realization through the creation and transmission of information. Information is transmitted via a variety of linguistic neural codes, including semaphore and the Morse code. The spatiotemporal spike patterns of nerve impulses, or action potentials, are transmitted through neural synaptic networks as linguistic codes, especially through the predominant chemical synapses of the cerebral cortex, the center for consciousness and cognitive activity.
