He is about to publish a book with instructions, which describes the grey matter's architecture and how the different components interact. "Then I thought the only way people are going to believe me is if I demonstrate it," says the University of Waterloo neuroscientist.
So Eliasmith's team built Spaun, which was billed Thursday as "the world's largest simulation of a functioning brain."
Spaun can recognize numbers, remember lists and write them down. It even passes some basic aspects of an IQ test, the team reports in the journal Science.
What impacts do you think this will eventually have in the gaming industry? Do you feel its the right way to go? Discuss.

 Waterloo is only 1-2 hours away... I must destroy it. But yea... on topic. Lol gaming? The thing scientists have been hunting for, "is what is conscious?" So yea I dont think their thinking of gaming applications just yet. But yea if they start combining this with machines, it's the beginning of the end. All those hollywood movies cant be wrong.

Scripted from a digital log of forum posts from an authentic Canadian, TMANX1, the virtual brain is said to constantly repeat such phrases as "yo mang", "eastern canucks are pansies" and "morning fine peoples". When researchers asked the virtual brain if it was capable of doing simple addition and subtraction, the brain replied with "steak and veggies.....mmmmm"
