I heard it was 200 MHz...

Then again, when talking about the human brain, the phrase "massively 
parallel" suddenly becomes a massive understatement.

(And then there's the fact that the brain seems to be analogue rather 
than digital. The number of pulses per second represents the intensity 
of the signal. So the number of pulses per second is not directly 
related to processing speed in the way you might imagine...)
