Neurons are very much binary. They receive enough simulation to fire or they don’t. They don’t fire with variable strengths.

Brains are literally just biologically grown electrochemical computers.

They fire at different rates are though.

Any logic gate will fire a different rates depending on how frequently it’s fire conditions are met.

Still binary.

That’s just plainly wrong. If neurons are “activated” (the binary analogy) it starts firing, but at varying rates depending on how far above it’s threshold the activation happened. A bit like an activation level to frequency converter, but non-linear.
