“Researchers discover that to sharpen its control over precise maneuvers, the brain uses comparisons between control signals — not the signals themselves.”

“Recent work with mice suggests that the brain precisely controls some quick movements by using principles of calculus in its signaling.”

Really just shows how similar we are to animals.

Why would we be different lol????…. I’m so confused about fundamental assumptions about biological mechanisms and networks. What’s even more interesting is that hardware and software are almost an exact analog. What is convergent evolution of non living objects? Just proof of the noncontinuum between matter and energy? Are we discovering that computonium could be real or is it just a convenient thought experiment for this idea?

That's such an ignorant statement. The physiological mechanisms governing movement are so ancient there's zero reason to contemplate any differences between humans and other animals. Hell, chances are microscopic multicellular organisms have similar mechanisms governing their motion.
