Empty Brain No Computer

Interesting reading, and could be worthwhile to all you iconoclasts out there looking for a big status quo to push back against. It basically provides an overview of the way people have tried to equate thinking with whatever the latest amazing technology of the time might be, and getting it quite wrong each time. Think about it with your mysterious empty brain.

We don't know alot!! Organ transplants sometimes bring an aspect of the donator to the receiver.

Sure. "The Hands of Orlac." "The Eyes of Laura Mars." "The Kidney of the Clown." (Okay, I made that last one up.) Although this article suggests that's basically impossible, because we don't really have any way to store knowledge in our bodies anywhere, including our brains. We don't process information like computers. We respond to stimuli and then modify ourselves.

So Your saying because the Brain doesn't hold Memories Our Cells can't?

Also isn't this just one Researcher basing His hypothesis on "current technology"?

Do you think Makram wouldn't have exhausted different hypothesis

The most blatant instance of neuroscience gone awry, documented recently in a report in Scientific American, concerns the $1.3 billion Human Brain Project launched by the European Union in 2013. Convinced by the charismatic Henry Markram that he could create a simulation of the entire human brain on a supercomputer by the year 2023, and that such a model would revolutionise the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease and other disorders, EU officials funded his project with virtually no restrictions. Less than two years into it, the project turned into a ‘brain wreck’, and Markram was asked to step down.

You forgot the "Spleen of the Man 'splainer."

Okay, that was horrid but I was just leaving spoor here to keep track and had to post something.
