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 are 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.

Any logic gate will fire a different rates depending on how frequently it’s fire conditions are met.

Still binary.

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?
