Ben, is this true?  As far as I understand according to our brain-mind 
model, the only known way to understand thinking machines is
to understand how a brain develops and works: autonomous development of 
perception, cognition, behavior generation and motivation.
If you are interested, we welcome you to come to International 
Conference on Brain-Mind 2013 (to be announced soon).  In fact,
if one cannot do autonomous development, there is no true thinking as we 
understand it.

Your humbly,

-John
