"Sequential information is significantly more complex as I described in the previous video on the capabilities and limitations of neurons." (2019-03-14 Brain Simulator II: Representing Knowledge in Neurons)

"Since there are no partial spikes, a neuron always requires an integral number of spikes to reach its threshold (or exceed it). This makes it impossible to process a repetitive signal from a single neuron by considering its frequency as a floating-point number. The most precise frequency processing is to divide the incoming frequency by two—and not many stages of such division will result in a signal which is too slow to be useful for thinking. There are ways to circumvent this limitation with the use of multiple neurons as is demonstrated in the “Basic Neurons” network." - Brain Simulator II: The Guide - Charles Simon.
