Are our brains quantum computers? A couple weeks ago when I

no. Get the fuck out of here Penrose. Go back to fucking around with your goddamn tiles

*Blocks your path*

No, but they are built on heavy parallelism, aka neural networks.
At higher level thoughts appear mostly sequential, but parallelism is what the brain is really made of.

>>8942260
no, our brains are not quantum computers
no, our brains are not any kind of magic
yes, our brains are capable of awe-inspiring things even when compared to advanced computers

>>8942260
Yes. In fact quantum entanglement is what allows for the existence of the soul.

No, what you just experienced is called multitasking. Either your brain was thinking about both things for a little while and switching back and forth so fast you couldn't tell or you were just using different areas of your prefrontal cortex.

Lol, I Was just listening to podcast of a neurosurgeon the other day and the radio guy asked him if brains were computers. He said that people always equate brains with the most cutting edge technology of the time. At first we thought it was a system of hydraulic pumps, then a clock, then a phone call conference room, now computers.

The truth is we don't really know.

Apparently, when we do something like decide to move our hands, the signal gets sent to the hand before the conscious decision is made.

Is a computer really such a bad analogy? It's a bundle of neurons that link together and process data and interpret it. You have inputs, processes, outputs, it seems to have some kind of innate 'programming' that allows individuals to instinctively know certain things, it can learn and alter itself it transmits and stores information by differences in electric potential. I mean, apart from the fact it's biological and doesn't use transistors it's pretty close to being a computer based on what it does

>>8944203
I don't think so. The structure is completely different. A brain isn't like a computer just because it can compute things. We understand computers very well, but brains are still not fully understood.

I think this is bait, but if not.

Yeah you sound like a brainlet.
Multitasking is not entanglement and an undisciplined mind is not a remarkable one.
Study moar.
