![]() For comparison, new the supercomputer being installed at Argonne Labs operates at 1 exaFLOPS and comes with no software. Collectively, my estimate above based on common google searches is 700 exaFLOP per second. ![]() Each neuron operates once every 10 ms or 100 times per second, or 700 * 10^15 or 700 quintillion operations per second.įurthermore, the chemical connection between neurons are effectively "analog", or floating-point, so the correct term isn't "bits per second" but FLOPS. The developing human brain produces most of its neurons within the first trimester of pregnancy, but glia do not finish growing in number until a few years after birth. How many nerves are in the human body? Even an estimate of 10^11 (100 billion) neurons times an average of 7000 dendrites or 7.0 * 10^4 connections is 7.0 * 10^15 (7,000,000,000,000,000) or 7 quintillion neural connections. You really need to include the entire nervous system's number of nerves to truly appreciate the processing power of the human neural network.
