In terms of the brain, you can in a crude way think of the human brain as a computer.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Many cognitive psychologists see the brain as a computer. But every single brain is absolutely individual, both in its development and in the way it encounters the world.
Eventually, I believe, current attempts to understand the mind by analogy with man-made computers that can perform superbly some of the same external tasks as conscious beings will be recognized as a gigantic waste of time.
We pretend that the brain is binary, like a computer. But it's not. It's completely holographic.
There is a real danger that computers will develop intelligence and take over. We urgently need to develop direct connections to the brain so that computers can add to human intelligence rather than be in opposition.
The basis of computer work is predicated on the idea that only the brain makes decisions and only the index finger does the work.
The computer model will be replaced by an organic model, in which the brain-mind is embodied - part of a whole, dynamic, living organism: one driven by emotional forces, not only cognitive ones.
We must develop as quickly as possible technologies that make possible a direct connection between brain and computer, so that artificial brains contribute to human intelligence rather than opposing it.
The human brain is probably one of the most complex single objects on the face of the earth; I think it is, quite honestly.
The brain-mind is not a computer, and regarding it as one has led to a variety of theoretical dead ends.
Ask not what the brain can do for the computer. Ask what the computer can do for the brain.
