Analog as in analog signals vs digital signals. Reductively: circuitry designed to operate in a continuously variable electrical domain, as opposed to circuitry designed to operate in a clocked binary domain.
Analog is (with a LOT of handwaving) way closer to how biological neural nets (that is, actual neurological tissue) operates. This is one of many domains where the exploration of biomimicry could yield some incredible advantages in a lot of areas.
Analog meaning think for yourself or what?
