Just A Biological computer ? (((( Smiles )))
One of the most controversal issues of neuroscience is weither the mind is simply a biological computer. In other words , can human consicious be explained entirely in terms of biochemistry ?
Many brain researchers assert that the mind is wholly a product of the brain -- that all humans thought and activity is simply the result of on-off fireing of neurons ( Nerve Cells ) in the brain , In short : " The mind is what the brain does . "
This is the logical and inevitable conclusion of materalist philosophy . But is it correct ?
Contemporary science sees the universe as entirely material , and humans as exculsively physical beings.
In this context , the human mind is viewed as the end product of an evolutionary process spanning millions of years...
But can all human attributes be reduced to chemistry and biology ?
Is humanity to be defined soely by the chemical and electrical activites within our brains ?
This question carries profound implications for the human species. And the answer matters deeply to us , weither we realize it or not.
Why ? Because it gets to the heart of what a human being is.. And in that process , it brings us face to face with the question of the purpose of human life....

And as being so.. The mysteries of the human brain is even more amazing in the discoveries of today....
Then it was back then at that time....
