Meet Your Brain · Brain
The organ that turns electrical signals into experience.
Your brain weighs about 1.4 kilograms and has roughly the consistency of soft tofu. It contains something like 86 billion neurons, and everything you have ever thought, felt, remembered or decided has happened inside it.
It is not a computer, despite the metaphor. It's a vast network of cells that communicate with each other electrically and chemically, and its abilities come from how those cells are connected rather than from any single part doing the thinking.
