"At a global level, the architectures of the brain and the computer resemble each other, consisting of largely separate circuits for input, output, central processing, and memory." This is fundamentally wrong, even at the 10 mile high summary level. In our brain processing and memory are not in the least bit separate, and memory distinct from processing doesn't really exist. If you really had to make a computer analogy of how the brain works, it's more like self-modifying code where the only memory of the data flowing through it is the changes to the code that were made as the result of that prior flow.
