Not very much I would imagine. Our minds are one of the most complex things in the known universe. It is like a biological computer that surpasses any of our computers today.
It can be a very fragile thing though. It must take in information to give out information, which means if you get unreliable info then it can "corrupt" your thoughts so to speak.
An example for me would be religion. The thinking process of, "I know how the universe was created, I know what happens after death and it was all written in a book 2000 years ago" does you no justice and hinders your thoughts.

The mind we know is only a small manifestation of our total subconscious mind> This again is interpreted to us by our intellect which is based on memories. Therefore whatever anyone knows of their mind is always insignificant
