IBM simulating the brain

The Connection on NPR had a great program yesterday on the ethics of simulating the brain (you can listen to it here). Besides the obvious questions about whether the machine will develop some sort of “self-awareness”, I am curious to know if this will be able to simulate the brain close enough so that giant steps forward can be made in everything neuro-.

Scary to think that perhaps soon everything we do are will be “simulatable.”
