Brains

The human brain must be a raw computer, because of the remarkable things that autistic savants can achieve with numbers...eg calculate the square root of 83534251 to 10 decimal places.
They must be accessing a lower-level structure in the brain that is a number-crunching machine. With normal human experiences such as recognising your mum's face, or the sound of her voice being a representation of those number patterns.
