Backpropagation of error, means that a somputer network give a respons and this 
is compared with the right respons. The difference between the given and the 
optimal respons is then transferred backwords thrue the network - correcting all  
the whights in the networks nodes. Could this really work as an explanation for 
how the human brain works. I mean who tells the brain if it has done wrong, and 
most importantly WHAT the right answer is???
