It just shows how little people understand outside their area of expertise that so many think what the brain does is in anyway like what a computer does. The brain is a self conscious biological control system. Incidentally it can do some computing. A computer is a general purpose digital combinatorics machine that generates a constant output for constant input. The brain is as if you wrote your software in microcode on a real valued analog computer. The brain does not use an instruction set. Instead it uses a complex spaghetti of somewhat self modifying micro code orginating in a self modifying (over longer time scales) genetic blue print. Most importantly for human and animal intelligence the brain is motivated in certain directions by emotions. Without motivation intelligence does not exist. One could say intelligence is the application of real control toward a goal.
