Posted by mls-stl (A) on April 09, 2011 at 20:05:45: One popular theory of the pure analog advocates is that some combination of our playback equipment, hearing and brain activity is sensitive to the presence of digital processing.
I think it highly unlikely that any brain processes have evolved a specific sensitivity to anything digital, especially considering how recent was the appearance of any digital signal in the course of evolution. More likely is the possibility of some part evolving with the capability of responding to "falseness" in natural (mostly analog) signals.
Posted by Enophile (A) on April 09, 2011 at 22:37:27:....... but if you look into many brain functions, they, too, can be seen to behave as though they are more "digital" than they are analog.
Some do but most seem more analog due to both graduated and statistical effects. The "digital" behavior that most refer to, the all-or-none nature of the action potential, is not really typical of neural processes and even the AP can be modulated. I think that the CNS is as much analog as digital but arguments to put it preponderantly in one camp or another are moot.
