The computing power inside your skull vastly exceeds any supercomputer. However, for the past half century, neuroscientists have suggested that the brain achieves its phenomenal performance in a way fundamentally similar to electronic computers. Thinking is Connecting Neuroscience understands that the physical process of thought is connectivity.
Neurons conduct signals in the form of tiny electrical impulses.
Messages travel from one neuron to another as pulses of chemicals that are released at specialized junctions, or synapses. There are trillions of such junctions in the human brain. The whole process is one of connecting. We think and understand by connecting one thing to another. Whether this process takes place by comparing or by extrapolating, essentially we are connecting.
