It's hard to give a meaningful answer to this, since the brain is more like a massively-parallel analog computer than a digital computer.
Chris Westbury says our "raw clock speed" is 20 million billion calculations per second, or 20,000,000 GHz, yet we can only do conscious calculations at 2 Hz. Individual neurons fire at about 200 Hz max.
Neurons transmit electrochemical signals at about 150 m/s, but digital computers transmit them at close to the speed of light, 300,000,000 m/s.
There are 4 basic levels of brain waves measured on an EEG. They range from about 4 Hz (cycles per second) in deep sleep to over 13 Hz when wake and alert. These have nothing to do with the processing speed of the brain, though, they are more like overall rhythms of the brain.

What is a measurement of the clock speed?
The clock speed is measures in Mega Hertz (MHz)
Is clock speed is measured in bytes?
No. Clock Speed is measured in Megahertz(MHz)
What is the wattage requirement for the human brain and how many hertz does it typically operate at while conscious?
It is approximately 15-20 watts and there is no clock rate.
What is the Brain area called the brain clock?
Pineal Gland
What is the clock rate of a laptop?
Laptops do not have a specific clock speed. The clock speed of the specific processor that is in the laptop determines the clock rate of the computer. For example, my computer runs at a clock speed of 2 GHz. Some computers even have clock speeds close to 4 GHz.
What is a human mixed with a clock?
Nothing. It is genetically impossible to fuse a clock with a human
What is correct human brain or human brains?
human brain. seeing as a human only has one brain.
If clock speed increases then what happens to processor speed?
Th clock speed is the processor speed. It is simply the amout of operations the processor can do per second. However if the processor has multiple cores, it will be as fast as number of cores * clock speed. Note that the processor speed is not the overall computer speed.
What is the pace of the system clock called?
The pace of the system clock, called the clock speed, is measured by the number of ticks per second. The faster the clock speed, the more instruction the processor can execute per second.
What weighs more lungs or brain?
The Human Brain Weighs More Than The Human Lung.
What does clock rate do on packet tracer?
A clock-rate is the speed at which the Serial connection sends data to another router and each connection must match the others clock-speed or a speed mismatch error will occur. For packet tracer, the clock-rate has no effect.
Which is better Core2duo or amd turion?
Depends on what their Clock Speed Is, Clock Speed Is measured in GHz, the higher the number the better the processor. For Instance an Intel Core 2 Duo could have a clock speed of 2.00 GHz and that would be better than a AMD Turion Clock speed of 1.73 GHz.
