The Brain is Not Computable

emergentfutures:

A leading neuroscientist says Kurzweil’s Singularity isn’t going to happen. Instead, humans will assimilate machines.

It’s always me disagreeing with the naysayers, I know, but hasn’t someone said that all we need to compute these “nonlinear interactions among billions of cells” is new math?  That’s all. Looking at you, computational scientists. Chop, chop.
