Translation and Paraphrasing

1. Whereas computers use zeros and ones to store and manipulate data, the neurons in our brains transmit information in binary, on/off spikes known as action potentials.
   计算机使用0和1来存储、处理数据，而我们大脑中的神经元则以二进制形式的开关尖峰来传输信息，这些尖峰被称为动作电势。
2. This basic similarity is what underlies the burgeoning field of computational neuroscience, which hopes to understand how neuronal networks give rise to processes like memory and facial recognition so that they might be replicated in intelligent machines. (Para. 1)
   (两者之间的)这一-基本的 相似性奠定了新兴的计算神经科学领域的基础，该学科希望了解神经元网络是如何完成记忆和面部识别等过程的，以便将它们复制到智能机器中。
3. The central problem remains: We have no real understanding of how the brain gives rise to the mind, of how neurons and action potentials create consciousness. (Para. 2)
   核心问题依然存在:我们没有真正理解大脑是如何产生思想的，也就是神经元细胞和动作电势是如何产生意识的。
4. If they could accurately recreate the behaviours and structures of a biological brain, their computer simulation should shed light on both normal cognition and disorders like depression and schizophrenia. (Para. 4)
   如果他们能够准确地再现生物大脑的行为和结构，他们的计算机模拟便可阐释正常的大脑认知功能和诸如抑郁症、精神分裂症等疾病。
5. And this invention of analogy relies not on analytic problem- solving thought but on letting your mind drift from one thought to another in a sort of free associative state, says Gelernter. (Para. 8)
   格伦特尔说，这种类比的产生不是依赖于分析性的解决问题的思维方式，而是依赖于让自己的大脑处于自由联想的状态，从一种想法不知不觉地转到另一种想法。
6. Though there may not be an exact word to describe this nuanced emotion, the mind can recognise it and can connect two very different scenes that may have inspired the same emotion. (Para. 9)
   尽管可能没有一个确切的词来描述这种微妙的情感，但大脑可以识别它，并且可以联想起两个可能激发了同样情感的截然不同的场景。
7. The other difficulty with emotion - and the reason why computers won’t ever be able to experience emotions the way humans do - is that they are produced by an interaction between the brain and the body working together. (Para. 10)
   情感产生的另- -个难点 (也是计算机不能以人类的方式体验情感的原因)是，情感是在大脑与身体协同工作相互作用的过程中产生的。
