“But if the brain is not like a computer, then what is it like? What kind of model can we form in regard to its functioning?

That's because the brain, as the constructor of all models, transcends all models. The brain's uniqueness stems from the fact that nowhere in the known universe is there anything even remotely resembling it.”
