Did you read my first post on this topic? In most neural models the important signal is the rate of firing, which has an information rate of about 10 bits per second. Blue Brain is like a transistor level model of a processor. For AGI you only need an instruction level simulation. -- Matt Mahoney, [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----- This list is sponsored by AGIRI: http://www.agiri.org/email To unsubscribe or change your options, please go to: http://v2.listbox.com/member/?member_id=4007604&user_secret=8eb45b07
