Last week a technique was published that might be able to accomplish this in a reasonable amount of time: https://ai.googleblog.com/2018/07/improving-connectomics-by-order-of.html https://ai.googleblog.com/2018/07/improving-connectomics-by-... One of the authors even stopped by for a chat here about it.

I was talking about synaptic strength (strength of connections between neurons which can vary from +ve to -ve) [0]. There is no mention of synapse in that article. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synapse https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synapse

  At the bottom of the article: > Next Steps > We will continue to improve connectomics reconstruction technology, with the aim of fully automating synapse-resolution connectomics and contributing to ongoing connectomics projects at the Max Planck Institute and elsewhere. In order to help support the larger research community in developing connectomics techniques, we have also open-sourced the TensorFlow code for the flood-filling network approach, along with WebGL visualization software for 3d datasets that we developed to help us understand and improve our reconstruction results.

    What you quoted is not about synapse strength
