The Neuron's Turing Test: Computer generated Neurons

From Thurs, Nov. 22, 2012 at the ZKM_PanoramaLab, admission free!

Just like the design of a subway connects places in a city in an ideal way, there is an ideal way for neurons in the brain to connect to each other. The computer generated neurons in the panoramic movie reproduce such ideal connections and are indistinguishable from the neurons found in the real biological brain. This is strong evidence that the brain actually implements such a design.
