Human Brain Still Beats Computers At Finding Messages and Meaning Within Noise
szczys writes: One thing the human brain still does a lot better than computers is to recognize patterns within noise.

The Hellschreiber is a communications device which has no idea whatsoever what the message actually is. It transfers a signal from one unit to the next, before being assembled into an image. A human looking at the image will see words, much like CAPTCHA. But even if the signal isn't perfect, our brains can often pick out the order within the madness, much like inspecting a PRNG for uniform distribution.Read more of this story at Slashdot.
