    THE HUMAN BRAIN - More Powerful than 200 Million Desktop Computers

    The average human brain weighs about 1.5kg (3lb) and looks like a big, grey, wrinkly sponge about the size of your two fists put together. It is comprised of 78% water. If the water was removed, 60% of dried brain weight is fat.

    While we are awake, our brain generates up to 25 watts of power:  enough to illuminate a light bulb. Our brain has the thinking capacity of more than 200 million iPads. Our brain's hardware has amazing potential. The software, however, is often sadly lacking.

    The brain is basically the headquarters of the human body. Electrical currents pass throughout the entire brain to perform an incredible number of tasks. It controls body temperature, blood pressure, heart rate and breathing. It handles physical movement such as walking, standing or sitting. It accepts a flood of information about the world around us from our various senses - seeing, hearing, smelling, touch and taste. It thinks, dreams, reasons and experiences emotions. All this, even when we are sleeping, is coordinated, controlled and regulated by our brain.
