Neural spikes vs bits

 By Phoenix - translator & blogger



Humans use neural spikes to communicate information. These spikes, also known as action potentials, are short-lived electrical impulses that occur rapidly (lasting roughly 1 millisecond) and are used by neurons to transmit information throughout the brain and nervous system. They occur when a neuron's membrane potential reaches a specific threshold, triggering a sharp, spike-like electrical surge. These signals are the fundamental unit of neuronal communication and are often organised into 'spike trains' to encode sensory information, memories or commands. Similarly, computers use bits (binary digits) and the binary numeral system to represent complex information, such as text, images, and sound, by grouping bits together. A bit (short for binary digit) is the smallest and most fundamental unit of information in computing and digital communications. It represents a single binary value of either 0 (off/false) or 1 (on/true). All digital data, including text, images and video, is built from combinations of these bits.
