Reflexes, like in your knee. Your spinal cord is very much part of your brain and the pateller tendon reflex is nearly 100% with 'healthy' people. Perhaps the statistical nature of the brain comes from measuring many people to get the right sampling power for the experiment. Genetics and the stochastic behavior of life then influence these brains to behave in statistical ways compared to each other. Twins studies should bear that out as true or false.
