processing level is lower than one would associate with a laptop’s central processing unit (CPU). However, looking at a CPU and its architecture, one can find a better level of processing comparison. A relatively recent innovation in processor implementation has multiple processing cores. Thus, with multiple cores, a CPU shares duties with multiple processing elements and assigns duties to each based on how it is engineered. A key workhorse element called the arithmetic unit (ALU) is within a processor core. The ALU is a device that can be commanded and reconfigured to perform various computational operations. This is done by software with a low-level programming language called assembly language. A more appropriate analogy exists with an individual neuron at this more targeted ALU level. A network of neurons could be considered similar to a multicore processor. Thus, a single neuron can be considered an ALU with a handful of programmable and reconfigurable states. In one of these states, a single neuron is configured to do some basic function like sum three inputs, pass the signal if a condition is met, amplify the input, or modify the input in a particular fashion.
