This money would be better spent in experiments to find out how neurons work. IF neurons are well studied, and large scale models of the brain using IF models have been done before[1]. The result? Nothing.
It would be an experiment if they were testing a new model. This is a simulation.

- JoeAltmaier 12y agoThis experiment was different in some way? More 'neurons' this time? That qualifies as an experiment.
- sanxiyn 12y agoThis experiment was different and inferior in almost all ways. Both less neurons and simpler neurons than simulated before. We had simulated 100x more neurons in more biological detail than what TrueNorth team did. This is a great asynchronous circuit power efficiency research, and not a neuroscience research at all.
