A brain is a society of very small, simple modules that cannot be said to be thinking, that are not smart in themselves. But when you have a network of them together, out of that arises a kind of smartness.

Thinking: the talking of the soul with itself.

What a peculiar privilege has this little agitation of the brain which we call 'thought'.

The human brain is probably one of the most complex single objects on the face of the earth; I think it is, quite honestly.

In terms of the brain, you can in a crude way think of the human brain as a computer.

The brain is a complex biological organ possessing immense computational capability: it constructs our sensory experience, regulates our thoughts and emotions, and controls our actions.

Similarly, thought is a system. That system not only includes thought and feelings, but it includes the state of the body; it includes the whole of society - as thought is passing back and forth between people in a process by which thought evolved from ancient times.

The brain is the cornerstone of virtually every facet of our lives. I wish we knew more.

The brain-mind is not a computer, and regarding it as one has led to a variety of theoretical dead ends.

I think that I cannot immediately see the route by which we should really understand memory and the workings of the brain.
