Bear in mind they are not using an extracted 3D model of a cortical column, but "merely" a mush up of known neurons and known statistical properties of cortical columns.

In other words, we are far from simulating the brain.

They call it a "simulation" and a "model" for a reason.

It's closer than anyone has ever been before.

If a supercomputer can simulate a model, what would it take to simulate a supermodel? 'Cuz that would be "handy" for me...
