Computers and brain parts receive and analyze information unconsciously. Machines are intelligent if they can successfully imitate humans in a special test {Turing test}| {Turing's test} [Turing, 1950].
In test first part, human must determine gender of man and woman in separate room by writing questions to both and analyzing written responses {imitation game}. In test second part, machine replaces man or woman, and human must determine which is machine and which is person. Intelligent machines can equal human performance.
For arithmetic, humans perform much worse than computers, allowing human questioner to detect that machine has higher intelligence.
Turing test is about intelligence, not consciousness [Millican and Clark, 1999].
