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