Connections Beteween The Human Eye - Brain - Action

Have you ever imagine how our brain processes the signals sent from retina??!!

Well let me give you few situations..

Situation 1: Just Imagine that You are waiting in the airport to receive your friend, and there are just too many people coming out.. In this situation, we will find ourself very difficult to identify the person that we are looking for. I mean in other sense the brain needs to do face recognition at high speeds since your eye sends 5 to 6 faces per second. Our eye will not be able to synchronize with our brain.

Have u ever felt this??

If your answer is yes!!

You agree that "there is a limit or boundary for human recognition speed"....

Situation 2: Imagine that you are driving a bike, Your friend is coming from opposite side of the same road and at a point you are waiting for the traffic signal to go green.. he is waiting opposite side of the road for his signal.. he is looking at you and you are also looking at him...

After reaching his office he sends a mail and asks whether you had seen him at the signal..
You are wondering..!!! Even though he is in your frame of vision, you did not recognize him..

Is any similar incident happened to you??

If your answer is yes!!

then you should agree that "all the objects fallen on our retina doses not go to brain"..


So how human brain intelligently processes the signals fed into them?
How the worlds fastest super computer works??

Well..
When you ask a digital computer to multiply two 8 digit numbers, it may give you result in less than a second..
But,
When you ask a computer to recognize your voice or face out of some 1000 faces in its data base , it will take time and will give you a result something like this- "you are 85.11% closer to personA and 84.91% closer to PersonB..

Imagine you shaved off your mush and beard, your computer may not recognize you..!!

It is obvious that there is no computer in this world that can beat recognition capability of human brain!! ( till today). Human brain is a highly parallel and Complex network and it understands things in hyper dimensions.. Till today researchers had very little success(1% or even less) in modeling the human brain..

what makes human brain so special? Why it is so difficult to model?

wow... our brain only can analyze it own. how the memory is organized inside our brain na? is it in wave form? i mean something like electromagnetic wave frequency? you have mention that some times the frames fell on vision not reach the brain? why it happens? at that time our brain works in some other frequency... i think i am not exactly able to express my assumptions... ok.. fine.

try to add feedburner to your blog na... it gives more attraction.
