>>12704075>You think a human brain is really that complicated? It is for us now but we're barely evolved apes.. but brains clearly aren't that complex..LOL brains are ridiculously complex!! I agree that neuroscientists current models of the brain are not complicated, but these models are all wrong. The relevant computation isn't happening with neurons at the cellular level, it is almost entirely intracellular RNA processing at the molecular level. The size of the computation required to simulate a human brain is staggering, it is on the order of 10 gigabyte per cell, or for a human brain, with order 100 billion cells, it's 1 trillion gigabytes, 10^21 bytes. This is simply the total weight of RNA in the brain times 2 bits per base. This is a staggeringly huge amount of random access memory, it dwarfs every computer we have, it is comparable, but slightly larger, than the total data on all the hard drives on earth. This is the information content of a single brain.
