"I decided to follow the progress of a scientist who believed he could build a brain in a decade." Couple 3 Films has released a quick teaser trailer for a documentary called In Silico, which is premiering at the DOC NYC Film Festival running online this month. Description from the fest: Director Noah Hutton embarks on a 10-year project following a visionary neuroscientist's quest to build a computer simulation of a brain. With unprecedented access to the inner workings of a multimillion-dollar scientific project led by Henry Markram and a roster of characters that involves the who's who of neuroscience, the audience is led on a journey that poses provocative philosophical, ethical, and scientific questions. The film's title (In Silico) is an expression used to mean "performed on computer or via computer simulation." The expression was first used in public in 1989 in the workshop "Cellular Automata: Theory and Applications" in Los Alamos, NM. Of course this looks fascinating, and I am particularly intrigued by the infighting in the neuroscience world. ›››
