The problem of application of informational ideas to the study of large informational systems, such as brain, is considered. Analysis follows some ideas of Winograd and Kowan's theory of reliable computations in the presence of noise. In the beginning of paper the "material analogy" for intuitive understanding of Shannon's results is proposed. Afterwards there is given the formulation of coding theorem for the case of "informational collective"--a large group of informational sources and receivers. In conclusion it is shown that such properties of neuronal structures as "stochastic" neural connections are reasonable from the point of information theory.
本文探讨了将信息论思想应用于诸如大脑等大型信息系统研究的问题。分析遵循了维诺格拉德和科万在噪声环境下可靠计算理论的一些观点。在论文开头,提出了用于直观理解香农结果的“物质类比”。随后给出了“信息集体”(一大组信息源和接收器)情况下编码定理的表述。最后表明,从信息论的角度来看,诸如“随机”神经连接等神经元结构的特性是合理的。
