71. In some computer nightmares, a manufactured brain overpowers a human brain. 72. In pursuit of that approach, scientists are building artificial neural networks and teaching them to operate as real neural networks do in the human brain. 73. In the past, similar research has been done on slices of dead human brain, but not on live monkeys. 74. In the never-ending effort to make sense of the universe, the human brain long ago bumped up against its limits. 75. Indeed, this research offends some religious people due to the premise that God was created by the human brain rather than vice versa. 76. Ironically, the neural network is a computer program modeled on the human brain. 77. It cannot, however, measure nerve impulses in human brains. 78. Is the digital computer merely a simpler version of the human brain, as many theorists contend? 79. It seems that consuming squirrel brains can transmit to humans a fatal variant of mad cow disease, which essentially shreds human brain tissue. 80. It may not be that far a leap to imagine, say, a silicon chip in the human brain that can receive computer data radioed through the skull. |
