In various episodes of Star Trek - way before any of this research was released - quite a few of the characters can be quoted as saying that we as humans are merely bioelectrical self replicating self aware androids.
I find it to be an interesting prediction, because it seems so logical. When you look at the human anatomy you begin to realise that we're nothing more than machines. Every part of us is where it is and does what it does because that's what's most efficient. So it follows that the brain works in a robotic way too.
