i read the Schizophrenia article and while interesting they did only manage in simulating the effects.
again i don't think we need intelligence to experience thought or emotion, at least not a lot of it. i think machines will one day be intelligent enough one day to feel as we do, though i think it will depend on whether or not we survive the next 100 years or so.
the reason i say this is because we only use a small portion of the brain (as far as we know) computers therefore would in theory only have to be a tenth as cognisant as we are to feel what we feel. okay i may not have it right but something along those lines.
i think cognisance is what we're talking about here and as such yes, i think in the future machines may have it.
