Its already possible to build robots that pass as human for a short peroid of time. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/4714135.stm Secondly, a Japanese robot is capable of taking orders from 3 people at the same time and matching the words being said with the faces of each as they talk and remembering it to give them the right order. Humans cant do that. Exceded human ablity today. Thirdly A robot currently for sale in japan is capable of remembering

No, an electrical impulse is sent and a chemical emited at the same time, if for any reason the electrical impulse doesnt set another nuron off the chemical does, yet if its just fired by electrical pulse the chmeical is ignored. They were trying to figure out how memory was being stored/remembered when nurons were not fireing electrical pulses due to damage yet surrounding nurons were responding as if it had.

Ok I dont want to get into the whole debate. Yet I want to point a few things out. 1.Human brains DONT just work on electrical impulses, messages even in the brain are also transmitted chemicaly as a backup. 2.Research especily for energy devices is moving into the biological area, because living orginisims are EXTREMLY good at power generation. The south Americans rainforrests if there excess energy could be taped produce enough power for all the worlds cities. <b
