Can the human brain light up a city?

The human brain has already lit up the city.  It now has to figure out how to keep the lights on with the cost of energy going through the roof.\n\nMaybe wind or solar power...

the brain is capable of processing 400,000 bits of information a second,we process 2000 what does that tell you?consciously trying to solve two difficult problems at once is unlikely.Good Luck

Do you know how to represent precisely the state of a brain at any given time? If so, then yes.  I think you'll find this is a hard problem to solve, though.

OK, your question and your statement don't really add up.  However to influence someone's brain from a distance is possible.  Using ULF (Ultra Low Frequency) emissions, you could render your target slightly insane for short periods of time.

Eyes. Is there life there, a spark?

actually it is very possible. many parts of the brain are yet to be discovered. did you know that the way a single person thinks of an out come can directly affect the object or thing that he or she is thinking of. there has been many studies and all have come to our suprise as true the mind can extend out. its your subconsiousnes. the inner mind

No.  But I do think we will be able to bypass certain types of brain damage with chips (processors) implanted in the brain.  There were some tests being done on this and I can't find the link anymore (figures) but they have expirimented with linking your brain to a computer, it works... the interface is slow... but it works.  And someone who had brain damage (forget what type) is now living a fairly normal life because a chip in their brain has taken over the function of the damaged part.

Yes and no. When we are first born, the human brain is the biggest part of the body. We literally have personalities the second we get out of the womb. Technically, we only use about 5 percent of our total brain capacity, so we know where we are, but what is keeping us here is what is known as stimulus overload, where we have soaked so much up that we cant get any more. (That is why cramming for a test/ exam is bad for you) The other thing is that the blood cells can only transport so much O2 (oxygen), so if we could increase O2 absorption efficency, then we could open up more possibilities. Assuming of course we can overcome stimulus overload. And yes, for the first few years we are growing connections to neurons exponentially. But when we get to about 20, they stop growing and start going the other way. So if we can increase O2 absorption, maintain connections, and overcome stimulus overload, then we can start unlocking our mind. Further more, it has been postulated that the human mind can store about 200 terabytes of info! (1 terabyte equals one thousand gigabytes)

I think you would do well to look a while at this excellent - but - simpliefied source on neuroscience:\n\nhttp://faculty.washington.edu/chudler/introb.html

That 10% story has fallen to Urban Myth status.  New medical imaging techniques can now show which parts of the brain are in use during particular functions, such as speaking, reading, listening to music, etc.  Turns out that your brain uses many differnt parts to do most functions, but certiain functions TEND to concentrate in particular areas.\n\nWhat remains of the myth, though, may actually help understand what I said in the last paragraph.  Many people who have hade severe brain damage and loss of many functions, can sometimes regain at least some ot those functions when the brain learns to use other, undamaged parts to do what the damaged parts used to.\n\nYeah, a vital organ.  An artificial heart can keep a person going, but with no brain, even a beating heart runs in an empty shell.

Others have wondered whether or not downloading the contents of one's brain into an ultra-high-capacity chip would allow for the continuation of the consciousness. Arthur C. Clarke seems to think so. I'm not so sure, but it is an interesting Q.

the energy entering our eyes are a stream of photons, these energizes the "Rods & Cones" in our eyes. these in turn generate an appropriate electrical signal, which is carried to our brains by the optic nervs. the brain analyses the electrical signals and actually searches the immense database of pictorial references we all carry. we actually see the object in our brains. how this happens is still not fully explained. but this is proved that the energy from the photons are converted to electrical signals, another type of energy and transmitted to the brain

Yes, I believe\nIn the power that anything you can visualize is possible and that humans can do whatever the mind's eye can see.

are you serious?! go to www.pubmed.org, type in 'brain'... I'm pretty sure you'll get in excess of 100,000 articles...

Brain implants so that you can learn without any effort, like on The Matrix.\n\nOr Yahoo! Answers.
