From Finalsparks website:
> Growing and scaling biocomputers is straightforward as it is just the result of natural expansion. This process is significantly simpler than scaling silicon based CPUs and GPUs.
I am by no means proficient in the field of neuroscience, but aren't signals in the nervous system sent by pumping Na+ and K+ ions in and out of the dendrites? From what I have been taught in my highschool biology classes, responses from stimuli will take in the order of milliseconds to fade out.
It may use several orders of magnitude less power, but I don't see how they can get compute that comes close to even decades old CPUs. Are signals in the brain sent through an entirely different process, or are they using a completely different feature of brain tissue that solves some problem we have in silicon-based processors?
