Permanent brain (sometimes called pondering) is the ability of a program to think when the opponent is to move. Usually programs implement it by guessing the opponents next move and thinking about an answer to that move. If the guess was right and the guessed move is played the program saved some time and just continues it's thinking. When running test sets disabling learning features seems like a good idea, too.
