mind not like a computer

It's nice to know that in a surprising turn of events
science has discovered that mind is not like a
computer but more like a biological organism.

The theory that the mind works like a computer, in a
series of distinct stages, was an important
steppingstone in cognitive science, but it has
outlived its usefulness, concludes a new Cornell
University study. Instead, the mind should be thought
of more as working the way biological organisms do: as
a dynamic continuum, cascading through shades of grey.
