Very interesting, thanks! I know about Blue Brain, but did not touch on any code of theirs - seeing you did. How fast is your code performance-wise ? I think the point he is making is that his model is "good enough". The code that I was running was able to emulate ~40000 neurons and their connections on a Lenovo T60 laptop in realtime. (the number might be off by an order of 2-4, I remember playing with different numbers, but do not remember the exact value). Interesting thing was that the "waves" that emerged by themselves, and with a certain size of the network they were sustainable even when I removed the initial "random noise" stimuli. I did not figure out a decent way to attach the inputs/outputs to this "soup". Since this capacity does approach the brain size of an ant, might be fun to toy with a "virtual world" "inhabited" by connected computers running the simulation. Could be a fun project, even if a little impractical. (Though I sadly lack the knowledge in the domain to make it happen).
