Computer : RAM :: Brain : Electrical Impulses??

[Izkata]

I was having a weird brainstorm last night, many, many things were going on in my head - all originating with the Cher song "Turn Back Time" (Which I am for some reason listening to now)

Anyways.

I had remembered reading somewhere that our brains are electrical impulses firing "randomly" over the brain matter (or something to that effect..)

It made me think, what if those impulses are like a computer's RAM? Our sleep would be like a computer's sleep mode, and our "off" button would be birth/death...

But, what if we had access to the "hard drive" part of our brain? A way to actually imprint onto the physical part?

Ehh..... Just speculating....

The human brain actually is a computer, but, like all machines, it needs an operator to be of any use. That operator is the soul... IMO of course
The "hard drive" of our brain would probably be the proteins, I think they are called R&A cells, that contain our long term memory, and technically we do have access to those, whenever we remember something...

Exactly.

Hehe, I was thinking in terms of your memory only...

Well the "memory" of your brain is the R&A cells. Is that what you meant?
