How the Hidden Mathematics of Living Cells Could Help Us Decipher the Brain – Singularity Hub

The brain has been compared to computers by lots of experts, but how similar are they? Can Boolean Logic – how computers think in 0’s and 1’s – be compared to how human logic works? Much recent research has gone into proving or disproving this theory. If you want to know more about this research you need to read this article!

Key Takeaways:

• This “binary “or “Boolean” logic was introduced by George Boole in 1854 to describe what he called “the laws of thought.”
• But the brain is far from a binary logic device. And while programs such as the Human Brain Project seek to model the brain using computers, the notion of what computers are is also constantly changing.
• After all, biological systems use symmetry and interaction to do things that even the most powerful computers cannot do — like surviving, adapting and reproducing.

“In the future, new kinds of computers and software systems may deploy resources the way some living organisms do.”
