Here is an Ars Technica article on the technology.

The paper is really interesting, even though it looks like it was translated with Google Translate. I’m not sure as to the credibility of this particular institution, but the concept of using BOLD data to initiate the simulation is a really interesting one. I wonder if it would work better using data from the new sub-micron fMRI tech.

The really fascinating point is that they were able to check the simulation but giving it inputs similar to what a live brain would receive, and get very similar responses. That’s amazing, and I’d like to see if anyone else manages to replicate their results.

This still needs independent verification, but would be world-changing if true.

Are these the hot spots that lead to the storm, or the storm track itself?
