The old jumper-wire style analog computers I'm envisioning did not have a clock to my knowledge [1].
Does the animal brain have a clock?
[1] ChatGPT says otherwise — says, yes, they did have a clock of sorts. I'm wondering if something like a voltage sweep (triangle or sine wave?) would be a kind of "clock input" for an analog computer though.
- imtringued 2y agoI would assume that neurons would behave more like a wavefront processor, but even this analogy is still a big stretch.
- zabzonk 2y agoi sort of maintained one them back in the early 80s and i seem to remember that it packed a wave generator as one of its inputs, which could kind of be used as a clock. but don't quote me - i'm strictly a digital guy!
