FACTS THAT SHOW THAT THE HUMAN BRAIN IS MUCH CRAZIER THAN THOUGHT
The human brain is as complex as the universe. Although he stands alone and in the dark inside a skull, he interprets electrical signals and creates a picture of the whole world. Perhaps we will never be able to understand all the secrets of the universe, but a structure that has the capacity to understand is waiting to be discovered inside our heads.
The human brain has a structure as complex as the universe. Although he stands alone and in the dark inside a skull, he interprets electrical signals and creates a picture of the whole world. Perhaps we will never be able to understand all the secrets of the universe, but a structure that has the capacity to understand is waiting to be discovered in our heads.
The world’s first supercomputer was the K Computer known as the fastest and most powerful computer, had 88 thousand processors and could perform 10.51 quadrillion calculations per second. To be able to do these things, it was spending the same amount of electricity as a medium-density city.
This computer was used for an experiment on an attempt was made to simulate only 1 percent of the entire neural network of the brain, and this simulation lasted for 40 minutes. in 2019, K Computer was retired due to more advanced supercomputers. But the new supercomputers are also unable to mimic the complex structure of the human brain.
The human brain has the capacity to do much more than this record and that the value of the human brain in the digital environment reaches petabytes. In the physical environment, it is equal to 20 million 4-drawer cabinets filled with papers full of writing. Most of this capacity is used to wake up without forgetting basic learning such as reading, riding, talking.
How developed the brain is does not depend on its size. For example, the sperm whale (sperm whale), which is 6 larger than ours, is not among the most intelligent creatures.. The ratio of body size to brain size is also important at this stage. Man is in second place among living in nature in the ratio of body/brain size. At the top is a species of pointed squirrels, also called tree frogs, which are tiny in size.
There is such a detail about the importance of the ratio of body size to brain size, especially when diseases in which part of the brain has to be removed have negative consequences in adults, while pediatric patients adapt to this situation more easily.
Physical injuries stimulate pain receptors in the brain, and thanks to the thalamus, sensory signals are activated. The message is transmitted to the areas of the brain that are interested in physical sensation, thought and emotion. Thus, the pain is felt.
But this does not happen if your brain injures itself. You get hurt, but you don’t feel it. Because the brain does not have any pain receptors of its own.
Synesthesia is the mixing of two or more senses in some people. The most common is the case of mixing colors and numbers. People with synesthesia perceive some numbers as colors. It is known that it is observed in people whose creativity is very high. the famous physicist Richard Feynman, who received the Nobel Prize in 1965, also explained that he considers equations to be colors.
Synesthesia is more common than ever expected. One out of every 300 people is born with synesthesia, but if you don’t train your brain to improve it, it dulls and eventually returns to the standard learning model. Synesthesia, which does not need to be trained, is rarer.
