The students were presented with 25 different surgical scenarios and asked to choose which surgical subspeciality would be most likely to treat the surgical condition, out of the eleven surgical subspecialities listed.

scientists attempttodevelopmathematical modelsofthemind,in orderto understand how it works, develop a machinethat ismore intelligent than the human brain, and to seek answers tosome important questions e.g. the question of free will.Neuroscientists discover that a person's brain commits tocertain decisions before the person becomes aware of havingmadethesedecisions.These findings may, however, not be sufficient to contradictfree will. Recent research result showed that a“"butterfly effect"in the brain makes the brain intrinsically unreliable, providingthe individual an excuse when their mind plays “tricks",supporting that they are not responsible for their behavior
