Your brain is like a computer
The human brain is often com pared to a computer, full of bits of information, able to make swift, steady connections. Just like a computer, the brain has many programs like the ones that allow us to move, think and make decisions.
To operate, a computer uses software, a set of instructions to tell it
what to do. Our brains use instructions too. Those instructions are like
software—bits of information that include our knowledge, attitudes
and beliefs.
