The logical calculus of neural activity
Unterstützendes Argument
1
#447
Neuron activity is completely describable in terms of logical operations due to their all-or-none threshold. A neuron firing' i like the assertion of a proposition and relations between neural firings like the logical relations between propositions.
Warren McCulloch & Walter Pitts (1943).

Yes: physical symbol systems can think [3]☜Thinking is a rule governed manipulation of symbolic representational structures. In humans, symbol systems are instantiated in the brain, but the same symbol systems can also be instantiated in a computer. ☜59C6EF

The Biological Assumption
The Biological Assumption☜The brain is the hardware (or wetware) on which the software of the mind is run. Thinking is a symbolic process that is implemented in the neurons of the brain and that can also be implemented in the circuits of a digital computer.☜98CE71

Neurons operate like logic gates
Neurons operate like logic gates☜Brain neurons are similar to the logic gates of a digital computer. Their all-or-none firing potential gives them a discrete character and allows them to be combined into the AND gates, OR gates and other logic gates that underlie digital computing.☜98CE71
