tldr: researchers build computational models of mice's brains then study the models through methods of algebraic topology e.g. looking at artificial neural cliques (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neural_clique https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neural_clique) up-closed i.e. at a level of detail unobtainable with an actual slice of brain tissue, and measuring their dimensionalities
Here are the stuff the project published so far: https://www.epfl.ch/research/domains/bluebrain/blue-brain/publications/ https://www.epfl.ch/research/domains/bluebrain/blue-brain/pu...
