ComputersVersusHumans Milan E. Soklic The question is considered whether it is possibles@ humans to program computers that can mimic human mental activities. Vision as a perceptual process has been selectedj~r this purpose. In order to answer this question the conceptual model called E-B-C is proposed. In the E-B-C model E, B, and Care three observational points whose metaphorical meaning can be changed. From the one aspect, E, B, and C can be understood as the eye, the brain, and the consciousness, respectively;3~om the other aspect, they can be seen as an input device, a data processing system, and inj~rmation interpretation. In both aspects E and B imp& data trans~rmations which are crucial~r the inj~rmation at C. It is concluded that the process of seeing is a data reduction process, a pattern recognition process, a 3-~ature extraction process, as well as a goal oriented process. Thesefiatures can not be described sufflciently in terms of computational processes that are carried out on present-day computers. A list of some classicpapers is given in the refirences. given by humans, for example, in the form of mathematical formulas transformed or translated into programs. The 'mechanized' work was then performed in accordance with the
