Comment on Scientists reconstruct Pink Floyd song by listening to people’s brainwaves
AllonzeeLV@lemmy.world 1 year agoA TI-82, an Apple II, and a 48 core rack Server are all simply computers. It isn’t insulting the rack server to declare that both it and an Apple II are both simply computers.

No. The human brain is not 1 and O. It is “analog” meaning the state can be any number between 1 and 0 because neurons and fired biochemically and linked to each other in multiple connections. This means the human brain or any animal brain can carry, process and store more info than any computer yet invented for the given size and mass. Non-biologists don’t know how complex biological sytems are. Go and google about the rotor-stator system of bacterial flagellum. That’s right, some bacteria have an electrical motor to propel themselves, long before humans invented the electric motor.

Neurons are very much binary. They receive enough simulation to fire or they don’t. They don’t fire with variable strengths.
Brains are literally just biologically grown electrochemical computers.

They fire at different rates are though.

True but they are rates of events, which could be said to be 0 for nothing and 1 for a spike.
That being said there are definitely some things in the way neurons behave that are not very binary, from the potentials driving ion flow to the way certain proteins act. Complex on amazing levels but I’d say it’s stil just a gloopy predicting computer.

It’s true. You a neuroscientist?
