  3. 2:33 "not compressed"????!!!! No. The brain's mental imagery will absolutely be compressed, and by compression strategies far superior to those currently used by peg and other such file formats, especially in the sense of retaining the most relevant or important details–those needed to identify and understand the properties of objects. It is highly unlikely that there are any arrays of neurons that would act like raw, uncompressed, individual pixelized data elements. This would be highly inefficient, both in terms of data storage and image processing. Natural selection has honed the image processing of our ancestral species down to efficient data compression mechanisms, long before they were anywhere close to sapient in the modern human sense.
