Argh... No... Too late
Ok, I finally found what I really wanted to post for biology Friday, but it's no longer Friday, or the day after Friday. Oh well, posting it up anyway.In a small lab in Switzerland, 20 scientists from around the world have gathered here bringing along with them tons of IBM chips. Meet Blue Brian, the most ambitious project ever undertaken yet to try to simulate a brain. Here scientists deal with some of the most complex questions ever to be asked by the human race, like "How do you extract experience out from neural circuits? (Hint: Reverse Engineering)", or "How does each individual component of the brain work, is it repeatable?", or even "How not to bang into a wall?"
And so with that, I now present to you their presentation of how the computer presents its version of how the mice brain is presented in reality:
The body in the mind-body problem is winning. Mind, get used to it.
