It's only when you try to mimic the human brain architecture you discover *how* clever it is.

The roughly 10^10 neurons and 10^15 synapses runs on < 400W.despite being 3d packed.

Binary synapes are not without uses. IIRC the WISARD machine used them and demonstrated facial recognition in 1/30 sec IE 1 TV frame in the late 80's.
