He says that it might be possible for a robot to catch a ball, but the number of instructions that the robot has to process to do the same indicates that the human brain works differently. The human brain does not try to 'compute' the location of the ball or the position of our arm, but rather 'recalls these from memory'. It takes only a few steps to do the same. I guess this is the 'feeling' you are talking about. Human brain works on "predictions", "feedback" and "invariant representations" and this is how the brain is different from a present day computer.
