Like a machine, the brain does not get better with practice. My times were inconsistent and did not improve with practice.
Differences:
The brain is not at all consistent like a machine while repeating the same task. While a machine would have the same response time for the same activity, the brain has very different response time for the same activity.
Also it was interesting to note that the brain tends to react the minute it sees the scale being dropped and reacts faster when focusing on the stimulus rather than the response.
Overall i feel that though there are some functionalities of the brain that are similar to machines, the brain of the whole has much more complex functionalities than a machine.
