We may not have a determinate answer to this question. But is there any evidence for or against this question? Or is there any study on it?
Is human being a Turing Machine?
turing machines;artificial intelligence
Is a dog an animal? is different from Is an animal a dog?.I read your question as going only in one direction: can a human beingbe simulated by a Turing machine?  It is not about human beings beingable to simulate a Turing machine, or functioning as one.Essentially this is an open question, that depends onChuch-Turing thesis, and on issues in physics regarding the physical limitations to computation that are still open(though some people dispute that, but history shows that some physicistshave been known to believe they had nearly all the answers, the rest being expected next Friday).  Theseissues involve for example the nature of time, and the oppositionbetween a continuous and a discrete reality. Democritus (460-370 BCE)still lives.Some details can be found in the second part of another answer I gave.There is a little bit more to it, but it is a first sketch.Of course it could be that the answer to the OP's question ispositive, even though the more general issue of computability mightultimately show that the Chuch-Turing limit could be overcome (I am not saying it can). But otherthan AI research, and brain research, that is all we have for now, afaik.
