Explaining the Ineffable: AI on the Topics of Intuition, Insight and Inspiration

Artificial intelligence methods may be used to model human intelligence or to build intelligent (expert) computer systems. AI has already reached the-stage of human simulation where it can model such "ineffable" phenomena as intuition, insight and inspiration. This paper reviews the empirical evidence for these capabilities.
