Is our brain more like a dual core processor that can multitask two things at the same time in realtime or is it more like single core processing where it just switches between the tasks really fast?

>> No.3669426

I have read that every neuron doesnt act like a transistor but like a motherfucking processor

>> No.3669430

Multi-core.

Your brain is handling all of your processes such as organ regulation, while you are able to think about other things.

Signal goes in, signal goes out, never a miscommunication.

>> No.3669433

>>3669426
yes

neurons have a set language for communication described in their cell nuclei, but they develop (learn) their own 'special' language for assigned tasks

Its more like a CPU+Math Co-processor.

just some info

>> No.3669448

is like thousands of millions of multicore processors interconnected, with integrated memory, coprocessors

>> No.3669452

I see the brain as a internet of neurons, with a democratic society

>processor cores

Neither.

The brain is a massively parallel quantum state machine.

>> No.3669507

>>3669423

Emphatically multicore processing. Your brain is clumped into different sectors which process different information.

I have no idea what that is but you seem to be very upset about it.

No worries, your lack of imagination is probably several steps removed from it's actual source.

Sorry. So, what makes you think the brain is a quantum state whatsit?

>> No.3669783

Core? Brain? What core?

Who commands whom and where are the coded instructions? Inb4 genetics. In after genetics don't code what the environment already provides. Really, before we had computers, the brain was compared to a mechanical machine, now that our most advancd machine is the computer it's compared with it. Now that people who don't understand the brain talk about it as if it were a computer, does that mean we have already invented ourselves as machines? I doubt it.

>> No.3669820

the unconscious brain is a separate processor that handles basic body management

the active brain is a single processor, normal humans cannot multitask, just alterate

also, the brain is written in binary

like >>3669882 said, but with a couple important addendum

>the brain doesn't have nearly the organization or obfuscation as a computer
>hormones can alter several specific neurons to get a larger effect, usually caused by outside stimuli
