Difference #5 - Short-term memory is not like RAM
Difference #6: No hardware/software distinction can be made with respect to the brain or mind
Difference #7: Synapses are far more complex than electrical logic gates
Difference #8: Unlike computers, processing and memory are performed by the same components in the brain
