Abstract: An electronic computer, which closely simulates human brain function is now possible and practical. This computer is educated like a human child without any need for programming or supervision of its internal functioning. Contrary of what you might believe, this computer is neither hard to understand nor complex and expensive to build. A few hundred dollars and some standard electronic hardware will yield the first primitive but useful devices. The evolution of this new technology may yield the intelligent self-learning robot and the apparently self-aware super computer in a few years time. This article will present a simplified review of computing theory. It will introduce knowledge processing, infinite dimensional networks and a theory of human brain function. It will suggest a few practical applications useful for text processing, cryptography, data compression, language translation, and home computing. The idea presented in this paper is protected by a U.S "Patent Pending." The author reserves all patent rights and the disclosure of this paper does not imply a permission to use the invention for commercial purposes.
