A hell lot of computation inside a neuron (in fact inside any cell) is chemical in nature. Proteins interacting, channels opening and closing, membrane doing membrainy stuff.. In fact their is a AND gate which is entirely chemical in nature.
Simulating chemical reactions are slow in silicon therefore chemical side is ignored.
If you glance over the graphs in chemistry papers, most of them are sigmoids. sigmoids are the sinusoid of chemical world. Its nice and heartening to see sinusoid appearing often in AI/ML as a fundamental computation.
