It is often compared with another complex system that has enormous problem-solving power: the digital computer. Both the brain and the computer contain a large number of elementary units\u2014neurons and transistors, respectively\u2014that are wired into complex circuits to process information conveyed by electrical signals. At a global level, the architectures of the brain and the computer resemble each other, consisting of largely separate circuits for input, output, central processing, and memory.<sup>1<\/sup><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Source: <em><a href=\"https:\/\/getpocket.com\/explore\/item\/why-is-the-human-brain-so-efficient\">Why Is the Human Brain so Efficient? &#8211; Nautilus &#8211; Pocket<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How massive parallelism lifts the brain\u2019s performance above that of AI.
