A computer is not a brain
There's a persistent belief in the tech world, particularly in AI, that the human brain is basically a computer and that once we figure out how it stores and processes information, we'll be able to upload our consciousness to the cloud.
This has always seemed quite reductive to me. As Douglas Rushkoff would say, "What about the squishy bits?"
Anyway, this fascinating article by a senior research psychologist describes how the brain changes in response to experiences rather than simply storing data in a specific group of neurons.
