Revision of Human Brain vs Computer from Thu, 2009-11-26 23:57
The question is, with all this new inventiones in AI, is human brain still superior to computer?! is it slower than multi-cpus? is speed a right measurement for compareing power?!
- Computer vs The Brain
- Is the Human Brain the Fastest Cpu
- Very interesting article about brain time! : Timewarp: How your brain creates the fourth dimension - life - 21 October 2009 - New Scientist
I believe that our brain has many cores! but i have no idea how many. The reason for this opinion is the fact that we use these different cores for variety of different things and sometimes very complex things at the same time. for example we can drive , think and at the same listen to music. Driving is not a simple task it require observation , calculation and action. remember that we all had difficulty doing these things even few month after learning driving.

Brain and computers at maths
When it comes to mathematics, computers are much better at solving formula. However, computers SUCK, and I mean suck at worded problems, ie; Both Julie and Mary have 3 apples each. If they were to place their apples in a basket, how many apples are there in the basket? The human brain would solve this in a split second while a computer would stumble and would only be able to answer; 6+6=?
Good point Josh thanks, The
Good point Josh thanks,
The reason that computers are much better in mathematics might be due to their logical nature.
But you reminded me of something else, Computers have different hardwares , some can do parallel processing , some can't some are faster and some slower ,etc. Humans' brains are also different. We all know people with amazing abilities like rapid mathematical calculations , eidetic memory etc. The question is should we include this people in comparison?
