The human brain is wonderfully complex. Within it, there are billions of neurons, each collecting information and determining whether to respond to it.

Ideally, this system improves the chances of reaching an optimal decision; it’s an elegant way to make sense of lots of competing input.As if mehr bei arstechnica.com
