A spike is not a binary value. It is a precise temporal marker that indicates that a particular stimulus (change) occurred. The brain is essentially a sensory organ connected to a motor organ controlled by a motivation organ. A timed and uniform mechanism. We are temporal beings.
computers convert everything into bits, but they use many different mechanisms, representational formats, and devices to manipulate and acquire those bits. brain also appears to use different formats eg for spatial vs motor representations & brain itself is highly structured.https://twitter.com/rebelscience/status/963963710728368128 …
