> Human brains are inherently analog No they're not inherently analog. If they were, thinking of a bird would produce the analog of a bird within the brain, and this definitely does not occur. The brain is neither analog nor digital, but includes a signal processing paradigm that has properties of both. Signals sent through and around the brain are either/or states that are similar to binary. A neuron fires or it does not. These pulses are the most basic language of the brain, and they're all or nothing, so the brain is computing using something like binary signals. But biochemical pathways are similar to analog. Neurons also perform internal electrical signal integration in analog. But the spatiotemporal pulses of neural code looks a lot like digital signaling.
