>Yes, you can. It will be impossibly huge and slow, but you can. A major problem is many of the brain's processes use "chaotic models". These are what we associate with the "butterfly effect" where extremely tiny deviations from the true value make the model diverge from actual behavior. Most models tend to have some tiny deviation from the true value but it usually doesn't matter. In this case it does, and it may be an insurmountable problem. The brain might be computable but that doesn't mean a classic turing machine would work. Maybe one day we can build a biological protein-based computer that shares the "irreducible properties" of brains, but then all we've really built is a brain.
