Everyone complaining or fussing about how primitive this model is on a browser, ya'll need to chill out and stop taking beautiful work like this for granted. Some of you may say this is easy to do or why didn't he also "do this" or "do that" - how about you help out and make it better ;)

@sethbannon Thanks for the visuals and hard work!

Is a neural network all that you would need to model in order to simulate a human's thoughts? How far are we from mapping a real brain to a simulation like this and hitting play?

Pretty far. We have only so far been able to simulate a part of a rats brain. Not even in real time.

I'd love to present sources but i can't find them ATM. If anyone got links or corrections please do correct me.

EDIT: Just ignore my previous statement. This is probably much more relevant: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6157157 http://www.riken.jp/en/pr/press/2013/20130802_1/
