The robustness of evolved systems is just crazy.

If only we had this in the much simpler than a brain computer systems, right?

Yea try booting up with half a CPU.

[crimsonalucard]

it can be done! You can disable cores!

[rikacomet]

well not everyone knows how to do that. And perhaps similarly.. not every brain knows how to switch of the cerebellum.

It's all the more humbling when you realize how little power is consumed by all that processing and redundancy.

Compare a favorite computer robustness technique: triple-modular redundancy (TMR).
