In honor of FM2030 my UCLA professor and friend.
The Blue Brain Project is the first comprehensive attempt to reverse-engineer the mammalian brain, in order to understand brain function and dysfunction through detailed simulations.
The cerebral cortex, the convoluted “grey matter” that makes up 80% of the human brain, is responsible for our ability to remember, think, reflect, empathize, communicate, adapt to new situations and plan for the future. The cortex first appeared in mammals, and it has a fundamentally simple repetitive structure that is the same across all mammalian species.
The brain is populated with billions of neurons, each connected to thousands of its neighbors by dendrites and axons, a kind of biological “wiring”. The brain processes information by sending electrical signals from neuron to neuron along these wires. In the cortex, neurons are organized into basic functional units, cylindrical volumes 0.5 mm wide by 2 mm high, each containing about 10,000 neurons that are connected in an intricate but consistent way. These units operate much like microcircuits in a computer. This microcircuit, known as the neocortical column (NCC), is repeated millions of times across the cortex. The difference between the brain of a mouse and the brain of a human is basically just volume – humans have many more neocortical columns and thus neurons than mice.
This structure lends itself to a systematic modeling approach. And indeed, the first step of the Blue Brain project is to re-create this fundamental microcircuit, down to the level of biologically accurate individual neurons. The microcircuit can then be used in simulations.

The singularity approaches us quickly and we should embrace it. Trends are increasing exponentially and at some point in time, a singularity will inevitably occur. These are some very cool future projects: X seed 4000, ultima tower, space elevator, nanotechnology, bug spies, Dubai s underwater hotel, world sports center, UAVs, solar sails, future ziggurats, moon and mars base, the Illinois, mega city pyramid and many many more..

How long was the depression? 24 months, 3 times as long and 3 times as deep then any for the past 60 years…
Deflationary trends are predictable due to the over supply from the previous period of easing credit allowing for over production and unsold inventories prior to the decline, as that inventory will continue to depress pricing until sold.
G20 will provide tripling of investments capital to head off the global collapse. Contraction not as bad as last year yet lingering onward, with many financial institutions becoming insolvent more bad news to come as a number of countries currencies collapse, as the bottom is not to be seen until the end of the 2011…
No one predicted the current crisis as accurately as Nouriel Roubini. His frequently bleak forecasts have earned him the nickname Dr. Doom. In his speech at Osec’s Forum for Swiss Foreign Trade and Investment, Roubini fully lived up to his name.
