[QUOTE="jimbo, post: 18263, member: 175309"] I can't see now a human being will ever be able to fathom the inner workings of the brain in terms of it's abilty to learn and develop itself. Ok, medically they may be able to repair it physically and possibly, mentally and emotionally but could not replicate its ability to innovate. How can anyone explain how one person can write musical symphonies at the age of seven like Mozart but another couldn't play a few bars even after loads of training. Lots of seemingly 'clever' people just have the ability to learn things parrot fashion and retain what they learn. You can get a digital computer to do that. [/QUOTE]
