I randomly read an old book by John von Neumann I found in a thrift shop called “The Computer and The Brain”
It’s only like 70 pages and it’s basically just him comparing how computers and neurons work and speculating on some stuff.
The general takeaway seemed to be that the brain looks digital at first glance (binary activation of neurons) but is actually a lot more complicated and more like a mix of analog/digital.
Now I’m really curious if there are any other modern books that do this comparison more in depth, basically exploring how a brain works but the author has a CS or EE background
This book is from the 50s so I’m sure a lot has changed since then.
