I am the one to call your bluff, & this is my climate."

Out of the Blue 

Seed: Out of the Blue: "Each of its microchips has been programmed to act just like a real neuron in a real brain. The behavior of the computer replicates, with shocking precision, the cellular events unfolding inside a mind. 'This is the first model of the brain that has been built from the bottom-up,' says Henry Markram, a neuroscientist at Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) and the director of the Blue Brain project. 'There are lots of models out there, but this is the only one that is totally biologically accurate. We began with the most basic facts about the brain and just worked from there.'" (Seed)
