Cognition is (to me) not even the most impressive and out-of-reach achievement: That would be how (our) and animals bodies are self-assembling, self-repairing and self-replicating, with an impressive array of sensors and actors in a highly integrated package.
I honestly believe our current technology is much closer to emulating a human brain than it is to building a (non-intelligent) cat.
