It's Penrose's view that a brain is quantum, but this paper http://arxiv.org/pdf/quant-ph/9907009v2.pdf http://arxiv.org/pdf/quant-ph/9907009v2.pdf shows human brain is more classical than quantum.
Maybe the simulation algorithm is the thing that needs improvement. Some day one finds a way to reduce the complexity an order of magnitude, then the era of human brain is over.
- Retric 13y ago~10 billion nerves * 10,000 connections per nerve * 100HZ * ~ 100 neurotransmitters = a complex beast to simulate even if you could get away with 1 calculation per connection per transmitter and ignore things like propagation delays and fatigue.
