This is a first posting with the comparision between human brain and the computer system. I have taken some special insigt on the human emotions in this post.
From the days I learnt Computers, I always tried to relate the computer with the human. Computer works with Input/Output, CPU, Memory/Storage. The same 3 can be mapped to human very easily, we have 5 input devices like eyes, nose,ears, skin, and tongue. Entire human body with hands, legs, face and nerves can be mapped as output device to express or do something. Then CPU and memory are in human brain.
All the human input devices gathers information's in different formats like images, sound, feelings, taste and smell. But my quest always remaind that, the computer having binary language to interpret before processing, and what could be the equal language, which the brain understands.
After some readings, I came to the hypo conclusion that it could be emotions. Everything we see, hear, feel, taste and smell gets translated to emotions in limbic system or emotional brain. There are studies conducted on this and scientists identified more than 500 emotions. Based on the emotions the reactions initiated by the action brain into our nerves system.
I also learnt that before the action being taken there is a part ofa brain called neocortex, which does rationalise the emotions. The rational brain is also known as sixth sense. This rational brain plays a important role which differentiates one human being from the another. This is based on my understanding that, the personality or attitude of any individual determined by the reactions of that individual..
The neocortex actually rationalise thinking based on the knowledge base of what one has learnt over the years, which is we call it as memory in computer. So, from this understanding, neocortex can be trained. This training may also be called as brainwash.
One more interesting thing I found is that, every time we learn, the existing rational brain still apply the existing rules before accepting it. This reminds me of a recursive procedures :). So, from this, it is understood that, we are born with some basic rational rules, which may have been inherited from mothers emotions during the pregnant period( this is my pure guess ! ).
Rational bypass: This happens when the we need to react fast. Here the emotional brain directly initiates actions without consulting the rational brain. So, the actions mostly turns the worst or disastrous of any human being as its a lose of sixth sense specially provided to human being. Most of the murders, suicides, fights happens because of this. This also happens when the current emotional state is set in angry.
This is the first post on my thoughts with the relations between computer and human. I have much more of this sort, which I will publish later as its almost timeup for today ;)
