tempted to use the latest technology as a model for trying to understand
it. In my childhood we were always assured that the brain was a
telephone switchboard. ('What else could it be?') I was amused to see
that Sherrington, the great British neuroscientist, thought that the
brain worked like a telegraph system. Freud often compared the brain to
hydraulic and electro-magnetic systems. Leibniz compared it to a mill,
and I am told some of the ancient Greeks thought the brain functions
like a catapult. At present, obviously, the metaphor is the digital
computer." - John R Searls.
