"As far as parallelism, we can certainly allow parallel algorithms on computers. I doubt humans have anywhere near "infinite" parallelism (does it even make sense to say "near" here?) but certainly enough to make them qualitatively different from our usual experiences with machine algorithms. But again, that may change."
I use "near infinite" because it is my belief that the brain is quite possibly as parallel or very close to as parallel as is possible. You could design a faster brain (faster synapses) or a bigger brain (more synapses) but I don't think you could design a more parallel architecture than what naturally evolved.
