Brain Function

Famous quotes containing the words brain and/or function:

“I was taught that the human brain was the crowning glory of evolution so far, but I think it’s a very poor scheme for survival.”
—Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. (b. 1922)

“The information links are like nerves that pervade and help to animate the human organism. The sensors and monitors are analogous to the human senses that put us in touch with the world. Data bases correspond to memory; the information processors perform the function of human reasoning and comprehension. Once the postmodern infrastructure is reasonably integrated, it will greatly exceed human intelligence in reach, acuity, capacity, and precision.”
—Albert Borgman, U.S. educator, author. Crossing the Postmodern Divide, ch. 4, University of Chicago Press (1992)
