Thread Name: BS: Brain = Digital Computer?
Subject: RE: BS: Brain = Digital Computer?
Sharing biological and elecronic language to describe the brain compromises the truth of both discrete systems. But one should not be so hasty as to say never the twain shall meet. Electronic enhancement of the brain is already here in a manner of speaking and has a long way to go. Making electronics more brain has likewise had a few inroads.

The holographic storage of memory throughout the human brain is a very interesting phenomenon. But we should not say that we use a holographic software operating system to think. Just as I think we should not so easily assume a similarly functioning holgraphic electronic brain would not experience awareness. For example I may know you are aware, but I do not experience your awareness.

Now I'll go back and look at some of those interesting links.
