Dr Dharmendra Modha’s group at IBM has been simulating the whole brain one cell at a time. They started with cat brain simulation and have almost reached the whole brain simulation except it runs about 1542 times slower. This is a simulation of nearly 1.6 billion virtual neurons and 9 trillion synapses. The power consumption is surprisingly low and tells us that it is possible to simulate the human brain and hopefully, understand the human brain. Look at the website below to find out more…

Searching for datasets
For anything Artificial Intelligence or Machine Learning, datasets are important and sometimes to tune the algorithms requires a dataset that is useful and valid.One search tool that many use is called “GOOGLE” but there is a specific link to search for datasets. https://datasetsearch.research.google.com/ Another site talks about the background of google search engine and other…
Opencell
Discussion by Manu Leonetti at Chan Zuckerberg hub. Self driving cars are taught in simulation. Similar biology should be also done as simulations. The cell needs to be thought as devices. How does information flow within a cell and do that in cells. Use GFP to tag the cells but also later use it for…
Integrative genomics viewer
It is not possible to use simple plotting or charting programs to view the data and draw meaningful conclusions. A dedicated viewer that enables large data sets to be displayed correctly is one of the best options. It is open source with copyrights by Broad and U. CaliforniaIf you are looking at genomics data and…
