Digital Rat Brain Spontaneously Develops Organized Neuron Patterns

Digital Rat Brain Spontaneously Develops Organized Neuron Patterns. Simulated neurons begun spontaneously coordinating, and organizing themselves into a more complex pattern that resembles a wave.

This is the beginning of the self-organizing neurological patterns that eventually, in more complex mammal brains, become personality.

The researchers running Blue Brain hope that what they're learning about the organization of neurons in the simulated rat brain will allow them to create a digital human brain within 10 years, even though that is many orders of magnitude more complex than a rat brain.
