It processes information through the connections between neurons. In that sense, the human mind is pretty similar to that of a robot. But how? Pinker suggests the computational theory of mind: “The mind is a system of organs of computation, designed by natural selection to solve the kinds of problems our ancestors faced in their foraging way of life, in particular, understanding, and outmaneuvering objects, animals, plants, and other people.” To understand how all this would work, we need to look to the human mind – and the place where it is situated, the brain.
