I found a great lecture by Gerald Sussman about thought processes and computers. I stumbled upon it when reading about the Feynman algorithm of solving problems. 
The Feynman Algorithm:
   1. Write down the problem.
   2. Think real hard.
   3. Write down the solution. 
His talk about Structure and Interpretation of Classical Mechanics reminds me of a quote by Knuth: "Science is what we understand well enough to explain to a computer. Art is everything else we do."
