And yet, there is one analogy in computer science that compares computers to humans that is mostly true, and that is comparing the microprocessor chip to the human brain. A computer microprocessor chip does not generally store much information, and it is not the origin of informat...
This article summarizes Robert Epstein’s critique of the “computer metaphor” for the brain. I agree that the current breed of electronic devices we call “computers” is a poor analogy for the brain, which seems to work in entirely different ways. But i think he goes too far when he ...
Three-dimensional computer model of thalamus and adjacent formations of brain has been elaborated on the basis of sagittal slices from the Schaltenbrand-Ba... MI Kazarnovskaya,SM Borodkin,VA Shabalov,... - 《Computers in Biology & Medicine》 被引量: 29发表: 1991年 [Part 2]Meaning of Singul...
Significance:EEGG decomposed the biological EEG-intention system of this paper into the relation spectrum inheriting the Taylor series (in analogy with the data-driven but human-readable Fourier transform and frequency spectrum), which offers a novel frame for analysis of the brain. 展开 ...

Nicolelis criticizes efforts to emulate the mind in a digital computer, no matter how powerful, saying they’re “bogus, and a waste of billions of dollars.” The brain works by different principles, modeling the world by analogy. To convey this, he proposes a new concept he calls “Gö...
1b). Although this analogy has some merit, an issue is that it ignores that the hippocampus sits atop of the cortex in the brain’s processing hierarchy40. Instead, we propose to merge the generator into the main model, by equipping it with generative backward or feedback connections. The...
This is an analogy to explain the purpose of your body and brain.Your body and brain are like a holographic headset that allows you to perceive a 3D movie you call your life. You are not moving through time and space from birth to death―THAT IS...
The findings are somewhat intuitive. "It's a simplified analogy, but think of a computer," Nave says.“If you have more transistors, you can compute faster and transmit more information. It may be the same in the brain. If you have more neurons, this may allow you to have a better ...
” meaning that consciousness can’t be explained by referring to anything more primal. Schrödinger held that consciousness cannot be subdivided; there is only one consciousness, even though it appears to be subdivided into billions of individual minds. To use an honored analogy from the Vedanta...
