First of all, I apologize if this issue has been covered before.
Would it be accurate to say that, given that a neuron is either in a resting potential or action potential, that a binary model would be representative of the neural structure human mind, or would this be too simplistic of an analogy?
This is of course not to say that such a mechanism is solely responsible for cognition and behaviour--chemical (and non electrical) exchanges do occur between the synapses, for example. However, these actions are triggered by the current flowing to the synapses, and assuming that such cognition operates on a purely biological level, would it be accurate to say that at the lowest level of function, our minds fundamentally operate on ones and zeroes?
