Hey, we're definitely thinking about this! In fact, the Java version can run on a GPU. And we're in the process of making a fast Python version based on theano. Unfortunately, even with all of these speedups, we're still talking about lots of neurons and lots of computation.

However, there are plenty of smaller scale models that you can run in Nengo to get a sense of what's going on in the larger Spaun model! The tutorials are a good place to start.

This model is already open source! I have been very adamant about keeping this the case in the Eliasmith lab. The model is here, and the software running it is here (and on github).

Hey, I'm still figuring out the copyright rules as to what I can post, but there are plenty of things already available:

This paper on Spaun specifically
Some background on how Spaun is built
Some background (with code) on the theoretical framework used
The actual code for Spaun

I'll let you know if a pre-print goes up!

We do use Python scripting to interface with our simulator, Nengo. See the last link for the actual script we use for Spaun.

Could you possibly post a link to a version that is not hidden behind a paywall? Perhaps a pre-print on your own research site; perhaps an HTML web page summary of your work?

It looks like they use Python scripting in their NENGO simulator: http://www.frontiersin.org/neuroinformatics/10.3389/neuro.11/007.2009/abstract
