THE SMART PERSPECTIVE

There are various definitions of a brain. Neuroscientist defines it in neurological jargon which immediately sends a signal that the brain might be a code. Psychologists describe it as an evolutionary tool that behaves in a certain way because of the environment it was brought up in. Physicists might describe the brain as a tool to solve complex universal problems. Computer Scientists may use the word “trouble-shooter” for the brain.  On every front, there is a different definition but the fundamental cause is the same.  All want to use the brain for the betterment of something.  I’m here to discuss something that is very basic and doesn’t require complex science for it.
