> It is possible that the brain's imprecision (I would argue that "inconsistency" might be a better word) is a requirement of it's computational ability Is it possible that brain is in fact a quantum computer? I can imagine that under all those neural networks there is a small part where, trapped in some complex protein structure, some qbits exist and are crucial to most advanced brain functions, such as consciousness. |

It's an interesting thing to ponder.
Quantum computing is still just another computational model, and it's main Advantage is that it involves non determinism. But non determinism, in and of itself, can be modeled by deterministic computer.
I think the biggest problem is that we don't understand what computation is taking place in the brain, or even if it is "computation" according to our current definition of the word. I think that this issue is the biggest problem in reconciling whether or not it is possible to accurately model the human brain.
