I'd loosen up that and say 'neuron-like structures' instead of brain.
- TeMPOraL 8y agoI'd ignore the neurons and focus on the information processing aspect. There's nothing we know so far suggesting that it's not possible to replicate all the computations the brain is doing in a non-neural, or even "non-material" structure. (Non-material in the sense where water flowing downhill vs. CPU computing gradient descent is material vs. non-material computation.)
