Miguel Nicolelis Says the Brain is Not Computable, Bashes Kurzweil’s Singularity | MIT Technology Review via kwout
Miguel Nicolelis, a top neuroscientist at Duke University, says:
computers will never replicate the human brain and that the technological Singularity is “a bunch of hot air….
The brain is not computable and no engineering can reproduce it.
Nicholelis suggests that our soul or our consciousness cannot be replicated in silicon because it is the result of unpredictable, non-linear interactions amongst billions of cells. No computer system is capable of replicating this type of unpredictability. At best humans will be able to control machines through implants which will become an extension of the brain.
Don’t fake it till you make it. Fake it till you become it.
