The Brain as a Bio-Computer: Understanding Neural Circuits

We will, throughout this book, consider the human brain a kind of bio-computer — an electro-colloidal computer, as distinct from the electronic or solid-state computers which exist outside our heads. Hardware and software. The human brain can be understood as a bio-computer with both hardware (physical structures) and software (programs and information). This model helps us understand how our brains process information, create reality-tunnels, and can be reprogrammed. Neural circuits. The brain is organized into different circuits, each responsible for specific functions: Understanding these c
