The document outlines the educational background and qualifications of an individual, including degrees from Oxford University in mathematical sciences and neurosurgery, degrees from La Sorbonne in cognitive informatics and neuropsychiatry, and roles managing neuroscience organizations. It also compares the processing capabilities and energy requirements of the human brain versus modern supercomputers, noting that the brain vastly outperforms even the most powerful computers while using much less energy.

4. • Blue Gene/IP
supercomputer
• 144 terabytes of
RAM
• Runs 100 times
slower than a real
cat brain.
• 30 watts of electricity (i.e.,
enough to power a dim light
bulb)
• The human brains
outperform the Blue
Gene computer by a
factor of a million (Hsu,
2009).
• An artificial processor as smart as the human
brain would require at least 10 megawatts to
operate
• i.e. the amount of energy produced by
a small hydroelectric plant
• (Howard, 2012b; Kety, 1957; Rolfe and
Brown, 1997; Sokoloff, 1960).
