This is due to a lack of understanding and shallowness in
modeling. From my model, the brain is an extremely efficient way
to do everything that humans and intelligent machines do daily.
In fact, it is highly optimal in mathematical sense. In my book,
any biological brain is modeled as a developmental <br>
machine, that is optimal statistically, in space and in time.
You cannot believe it until you read the book.<br>

Do you mind if I invite bmi list to join this interesting line of
discussion? This may help us to clarify the interesting issues.<br>
