The Blue Brain Project is the first comprehensive attempt to reverse-engineer the mammalian brain, in order to understand brain function and dysfunction through detailed simulations. This type of simulation is interesting because it uses a large amount of high-quality inputs and detailed logic. More money should go towards projects like this, instead of foggy climate simulations.
