Right, but the end state of all that is "neuron fires" or "neuron doesn't fire", or at best "neuron fires n times per second" - a binary state.


We have some behavior that depends on very exact timing of neuron spikes (e.g. determining direction of sounds by connecting signals from both ears), so that's kind of analog - though it does get reduced into a binary state, in the end either the "detector for offset of x microseconds towards left" fires or not.
