Evgenyij, we know sssoooo little 'bout our natural existence (and in my agnosticism I hope for so much we don't even imagine...) that I come up with the question: what should be called "human brain"? the tissue in the lab or more? if you add all the "brainfunctions" (explainable today, or not) you may end up with a 'monster' unfathomable for our ongoing (naiv?) natural sciences. Do the gut-microbes THINK for us? and so on...
