Where Dr. Henry Markram takes the viewer on a tour de force of that structure that gives rise to the phenomena of human intelligence.

IBM Research’s Almaden Institute Conference on Cognitive Computing. Markram discusses microcolumns in the brain, and shows several video animations of computer models of neurons communicating in a microcolumn. His model includes 10,000 neurons, which is a *very* large number of neurons to model. Markram’s Powerpoint presentation here.
