I follow AI quite a lot and I'm curious if there is much talk about the future of memristor and brain emulation within the project seeing as a hardware variable analog would seem the ideal medium for such things. I know when this technology came out AI was what first came to mind. Working for the Blue Brain Project would be my dream job as a programmer/engineer. I'm curious how you came about your internship? I'm desperately looking for a challenge and this type is research would definably be my first choice.
