    Not very different from the human brain then 🤷🏼‍♀️, with the exception of qualia we’re just like that.

    And cognitive functions are just nerves triggering other nerves and so on, just like computers’ bits & instructions…

      I don’t see what you’ve written and provide the most likely response to the prompt you’ve made.

      I cognitively think about what you’ve said, comprehend it, consider the concepts you have portrayed and formulate an idea that becomes my response. I then transcribe that response into language, and write it out in such a way that others can comprehend.

      Cognition is the part that’s missing. And what we don’t know about how human cognitive abilities work, far outweighs the amount we do know. Right now our best theories involve a complex interconnection of brain cells that send signals along neurons to other cells and that somehow, in a way we don’t currently understand, results in the complex thought and cognition that we, as humans, have.

      To summarize cognitive capabilities into a series of neurons firing is reductive and discounts the very Science that you are basing your answer upon. The Brain is still a thing that we have a lot of work left to do before we can understand it. Your comment is disrespectful of the scientists that are trying to push the understanding of the brain to new levels.

      Be quiet.
