@NicoleCRust@neuromatch.social @knutson_brain@sfba.social @neuralreckoning@neuromatch.social @awaisaftab@mastodon.social @summerfieldlab@qoto.org @Neurograce@mastodon.online @eikofried@mastodon.online Thanks for the clarification! To clarify a bit on my own, my reply was more of a call-back joke to the OG days on Twitter (per @neuralreckoning@neuromatch.social ). But, I take your point well, and agree, it is important for people to realise that brains don't do sequential, discrete, passive processing of a stream of inputs using a step-by-step program. And so, in that sense, it's a metaphor (and a poor one).
