<<Computers are great at performing functions in the same way over and over again. They're not so great at adapting to situations they haven’t seen before. Now a group of researchers from MIT is using the human brain as a model for the circuits in a machine -– and opening the way to a computer that can really learn.
The key is plasticity. Plasticity is the quality of human brains that makes them able to change in response to stimuli. It’s one reason many neuroscientists think we remember and learn. It also underlies the ability of the brain to recover from injuries.>> http://news.discovery.com/tech/scietists......=rssnws1

Asimov would be so pleased. The "iridium sponge" brain is close to being a reality.
