KJxp Posted August 23, 2005 Posted August 23, 2005 Truly amazing. When you try to read fast, your mind almost forgets that you ARE reading jibber. Computer: stumped. Human: Almost don't know the difference.
Zxian Posted August 23, 2005 Posted August 23, 2005 Yup... computers do relatively very simple computations on the most part. Just think about the body's ability to balance while walking. That's something that took years of development. I read about this a while back. Still really interesting.
cheezus420 Posted August 23, 2005 Author Posted August 23, 2005 I still have troubles balancing while im walking (usually walking home from the bars)

Thephenomenal power of the human mind Occurring torscheearch at CambridgeUinervtisy, it doesn’t matter in what order theletters in a word are,theonly iprmoatnt thing is that the first and lastletter be in the rightplace. The rest can be a total mess and you canstill read it outfit aproblem. This is busier the human mind does notread every letter byistle, but the word as a whole. Amazing huh
