The brain-transplant thought experiment
Part of a Chinese speaker's brain is transplanted into Searle's skull. He starts making odd sounds in reply to quesitons in Chinese. In English he insists he speaks no Chinese; Chinese speakers insist he's fluent and claims to speak no English.
David Cole, 1984.
