After you
I'm not too keen on revealing my real-world person on an internet forum.
One little thing I recently revealed is in this thread:

You just went from "I ran the world's largest brain simulation" to "if you do implement the right theoretical models".
I was merely expanding on that to other people. What I was saying was that anyone who will run the same theoretical models will get to the same results.
This is not something that I can only run... and only in the night.. and it has to have the correct room temperature...
Now, onto some more theoretical models that you (and, possibly, everyone in the field) are ignoring...
- Just because you have a pretty network of neurons, it doesn't mean they'll do anything.. they require something extra:
Inputs - sensory inputs.... I think you may know what I mean... sight, hearing, touch, smell, taste.
Hormones - how do they influence each neuron?
Nutrients - how the concentration of a particular nutrient affects a neuron? Water counts as a nutrient, so does Oxygen.
Bottom line, your brain is not just a collection of neurons... it's part of a whole machinery which influences and is influenced by the brain.
Why don't you try to simulate a simple snail, with its limited brain and sensory apparatus and then scale up?
