Mouse brain simulated

Apparently they simulated a mouse brain using a supercomputer. Kinda freaky but if it took 4000 processors and a terabyte of RAM to run a half brain simulation for just one second I think we have a long ways to go before you have true AI in your toaster.

What's there to simulate?

1. Eat
2. Breed
3. Repeat

You don't deserve my sig.

They must have got hands on Allegro 5.

The three researchers, James Frye, Rajagopal Ananthanarayanan, and Dharmendra S Modha, laid out how they went about it in a very short research note entitled "Towards Real-Time, Mouse-Scale Cortical Simulations".

Something about that is just very funny:D

It is a start... we are still far from human like bots.

Give it another 50 years, put a bunch of AI computers together, a wifi network, and this http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/6566317.stm and you have a killer AI swarm.

The first thing you have to think of when creating AI is an automatic shutdown control. Just in case it ever becomes evil.

Everyone knows, the only reason you make AI is so that it can go evil.

Why did they try something as complicated as a mouse?

A goldfish, a fly, or a Bush would have been much easier.

They needed an AI for my maze game.

Lame. ::)

But, what exactly are they simulating with this? I'm interested to know.

I find that name quite cool.

I was more referring to the act of real-time mice brain emulation. I just imagined they were going to replace lab mice with artificial variants to prevent the animal activists getting angry.

Nevertheless, it is a great step in A.I. research. I've always been a fan of artificial intelligence, and have thought up many different theories in how one may construct an artificial intelligence. I really want that source code..
