all things brainy
A couple of months back I posted quite a bit about a new found source of inspiration of mine. Neuroscience. Included in my post where many videos to TEDtalks. Well it is TED time again, and, sadly, I am not there. So I am as so many of us, confided to following TED on the web. One of today’s speakers: Henry Markram caught the BBCs attention, and thus mine. He is director of Blue Brain, a supercomputing project that can model components of the mammalian brain to precise cellular detail — and simulate their activity in 3D. Soon he’ll simulate a whole rat brain in real time.
