There is an interesting discussion of this work at:

The following statemeant is not meant to refute any thing. Mark Changizi seems to have written book about the brain and is now writing an enormous number of papers on diverse topics to fit his theory. May be a breakthrough but I do not have any idea about him.

Duane Smith's comment is interesting, I would like to see what Mark Changizi's views of cuneiform are. As far as Ugaratic is concerned, though, I seem to remember reading a relatively recent study which argued that its resemblence to cuneiform could equally be the result of adapting the Canaanite script to being written on clay tablets, and did not necessarily indicate descent from cuneiform proper.
