The NEST project site describes it as a simulator ideal for networks of spiking neurons of any size. NEST was put to work to replicate a network of 1.73 billion nerve cells and 10.4 trillion synapses.

It’s possible, too, to find theological implications in the idea that we are living in a simulation. In a 2014 book called “Your Digital Afterlives,” the philosopher Eric Steinhart explores ...

To realize this feat, the program recruited 82,944 processors of the K computer. The process took 40 minutes to complete the simulation of 1 second of neuronal network activity in real, biological, ...

A computer simulation originally developed to explain how founders influence the level of diversity of a startup can also be applied to understanding why the new administration will likely be more ...

Theoretical physicists have dispelled the idea we are living in a Matrix-style computer simulation, calculating that not all aspects of our reality can be simulated efficiently using computers.
