The lab results show that the human brain is not a machine. Unlike a machine, it is incapable of duplicate with accuracy and precision, a set task. My results proved this since there was no uniformity in my results.
pen name: Wonder Woman The system in which our body functions is much like that of a machine. Our brain is where all the programming takes place. Once that program is read or decoded, the machine carries out the assigned command. Similarly, when the rest of our body receives signals from our brain, we perform tasks. Some argue that consistency distinguishes the human individual from a lifeless machine. However, humans can achieve consistency. Though our current lab results show fluctuations and seemingly random data, with enough practice our actions will become more habitual and produce consistent results. This is not to say that humans are machines. While humans and machines are similar in structure (machines were created facilitate human tasks previously done by hand), humans are much more complex because we exhibit emotions and because we can think. Our brain has capacity to learn while the machine program does not. The ability to gain knowledge affects our future responses. In this particular lab, we begin to anticipate the falling of the ruler and even though we focus on either the stimuli or response, we unconsciously count and await for the fall. Therefore, while we possess qualities that may seem machine-like, humans are not machines.
