Neuroscientist Gerald Edelman (who works on robotic consciousness) explains why brains and computers are not analogous.
To function, a computer must receive unambiguous input signals. But signals to various sensory receptors of the brain are not so organized; the world (which is not carved beforehand into prescribed categories) is not a piece of coded tape.
Gerald Edelman, Second Nature: Brain Science and Human Knowledge, 2006. pg.21
