So eyes works as a camera, passing the image array to brain, which works as a CPU?

@whdawn: I would try not to draw close analogies between the brain and a computer: this is a classic mis-comparison of technologies that has been repeated throughout the ages. For instance, in the 19th century people made all sorts of analogies between the brain and a steam engine! Probably 100 years from now it will be something else entirely. The brain is not a steam engine, nor a computer; it is its own fascinating and complicated mechanism---that deserves a little reverence! :-)
