Human Brain Power Demystified

Article by Ewin Chia

The human brain is a mysterious and nearly uncharted realm. Despite the many technological advances and discoveries human beings have made, the human brain is still a mystifying entity. It is the most complex of most organs, the most powerful among them, as well. So many questions regarding the human brain are still left unanswered. We sometimes underestimate the power of the human brain, of the many potentials and capabilities it can do. Human brain power is nearly impossible to describe and discern. What is it really, and how vital is it to human beings?

Brain power is the source of a person’s intelligence, talents and potentials which is hardwired into one’s brain. It has the power to do millions of things: it has the power to learn a language, perceive right from incorrect, assess beauty and remember thousands of things all at the same time.

How powerful is human brain power really? It is nearly impossible to answer that question, but the closest estimation may be that of a supercomputer. The performance measure of the brain goes up to millions of suspended point operations per second. Certainly computers can do quicker computation and mathematics than humans, but this does not make them any more superior to the human brain. For starters, the computer brain is mainly computational and operational, which acts on a task that they were programmed for. The human brain is cognitive, built primarily for the purpose of learning. In terms of other factors such as psychology and physiology, no one does it better than the human brain. Of course, brain power varies from person to person.

There are a lucky few who are blessed with supernatural memory and extraordinary intellectual abilities. Right, there are some who are born with superior intellectual abilities, but it doesn’t mean that the rest of the human population cannot develop or awaken one’s brain potential. Superior brain power does not depend on one’s brain
