Hi Traci,
I don't know definitively, but I think recent claims have been made that a computer
has passed the test. Maybe it was in connection with a computer, Grace, that
registered at an academic convention.
Alternatively, the program ELISA (?) which acted like a psychotherapist is reported

Hello Stephen, Beth, et al.!
Yes, I'm lurking quietly in the background...so be careful what you
say! :-)
Here's my take on Beth's student's question. First of all, I think
that you can rule out rods. My understanding is that under normal
daylight (or brightly lit) conditions,
Sorry if we've covered this before, but do any of you know
definitively (everyone I ask says that they "think" not :-) whether a
computer has ever passed Turing's famous test for whether a computer
has demonstrating "thinking"?
Thanks in advance,
Traci

Yes, it's me again. I think I've sorted the terminology out and sorry
for making my education so public.
Trichromats have three kinds of cones (common as dirt)
Dichromats have two kinds of cones (in the minority)
Cone monochromats have one kind of cone (rare)
Rod monochromats have zero kind
In doing some more web-browsing, I see that my terminology in my last
post equating monochromaticity with achromatopsia is likely
incorrect. In fact, I first wrote it using the term
"monochromaticity" and changed it to "achromatopsia" after spotting
it on the web and thinking it was the prefer

Sorry about the irrelevant post. I intended to forward something to a
colleague and accidentally included the list in the address line for the
forward.

Thanks for the alert, Stephen. American PBS lists it as playing tonight at
10:30 on many stations throughout the US.
My VCR is ready. (And here's the website:

This is unfortunately belated, but perhaps not too belated. The US
PBS network showed _Scientific American Frontiers_ last night, and
featured Phineas Gage and his amazing disappearing brains. I taped it
but didn't have a chance to watch it yet.

You might find this of interest. There were many other posts on this thread,

Let me add my 2 cents here. Yes, if an institution is receiving federal
funding, it needs an IRB (and is it is good idea to have one anyway for a
myriad of reasons). However, a huge dilemma is brewing, especially among
social scientists. Based on a few cases of GROSS failure to properly
