I call the brain a data processing machine. Calling it a computer implies it's a sequential processor, which it is not, and gets me into arguments. But neural networks are successfully simulated on sequential computers, performing tasks some asserted only to the brain could do
Important evidence for two controversial hypotheses I have long defended: brain as computer, and nativism & the importance of cortical prewriting.http://science.sciencemag.org/content/362/6411/169.1.full …

that is a straw person: even computers aren’t serial anymore.

"This model could have important implications for the design of improved deep learning algorithms that seek to faithfully recapitulate computational processes in the brain ..." Jesus. Nowakowski is a neurobiologist? Why does he even mention DL? The mainstream is totally doomed.

The most important structure in the neocortex is the cortical column. Each CC contains about 100 minicolumns on average. There are over 100 million minicolumns in the human brain. Unless we understand their functions and purpose, we will not solve the intelligence puzzle.
