I guess I'd say a lot more than most people, but far less than you. :) Enough to know that biological neural systems are messy and slow and massively parallel, yes. I personally come from a perspective that assumes they could still be simulated to whatever level of precision is desired in a Turing Machine given enough time and a big enough tape, of course.

I don't think it really matters, though. The way cognition is implemented doesn't matter for these purposes. Analog, digital, serialized, parallel, whatever. They're all material systems with no even halfway convincing explanation of how one gets from that to subjective experience.
