One thing I'm wondering about is how they're going to model all the structures in the brain. I'm not sure if they're doing this or not, but taking into consideration all the epigenetic and developmental discrepancies between different areas of the brain as well as different neuron morphologies does seem like a lot. Does anyone know how much physics was used in the simulation?
