Professor Geoffrey Jefferson gives a broadcast version of the Lister Oration delivered on June 9 at the Royal College of Surgeons.
Professor Jefferson explains the nature of the so-called mechanical brains ' and investigates the similarities between these electronic calculating machines and the human brain. He warns against the fallacy of regarding these similarities as proof of the electrical nature of nervous impulses, and explains why the human brain and its activity must be considered unique in Nature. Professor Jefferson is head of the Department of Neuro-Surgcry ' at Manchester University.
