[quote="rbarreira"][quote="Daniel Shawul"]Turns out article I read is quite old. Rat's and Cat's brain have been solved.

Are you saying that your brain does not follow the laws of physics? If it does follow them then it's very hard to argue that your consciousness / intelligence / anything else happening in your brain is not reproducible.
As for being deterministic or not, that doesn't matter, not all computers are deterministic anyway.[/quote]

no, i don't say the brain doesn't follow the laws of physics, but i say
that it doesnt work like a computer. computers which are not
deterministic ? what do you mean ? chaos theory or so ?
still deterministic, but not predictable.

as for the brain, not all laws of physics are know in its details,
in astrophysics we don't know much about dark matter
and dark energy, in physics we don't know everything about
mult-component quantum-physics for example.
example if two photons can seem to communicate at a distance
like in the EPR experiment than larger scale information structures
could also be coupled or transmitting info in some way
which we don't know of yet. might be the case in biology
