Sorry from the movie I cannot see what's the point. Very slick design, nice documentary. Yet, 4 years into the project already and there no implications at all

Sorry from the movie I cannot see what's the point. Very slick design, nice documentary. Yet, 4 years into the project already and there no implications at all of the research ... There's not breakthrough there's nothing of impact.
This is shocking ... he even got project money for the blue brain project (same goal) and did not deliver. Now he got the brain project (and won't deliver as well I guess). Markram is amazing in getting funding!!!
I agree with you on the farmrs part :)
- tim333 12y agoActually I have to admit I hadn't at the time watched Blue Brain part 4. I just did and I can see your point. While I'm still a believer that computer simulation will be a major tool in understanding the brain I think there may be more progress from small teams like the google car guys, Kurzweil's lot at Google and the IBM Watson guys rather than something like the Human Brain Project which seems to be shaping into a big enterprise fixed in one direction rather than small groups trying hacking different approaches. In fact I don't think anyones managed a good simulation of Caenorhabditis elegans which could probably be attempted ok by a PhD student with a laptop.
