My bet for a brain simulator is on memristor[1] based neural networks. HP is commercializing[2] memristor storage devices as we speak. We need economies of scale such that memristor computing becomes cheap enough to implement universally. Unfortunately, one off research technologies are far too expensive to produce in the necessary quantities for AI research.
