"if electrophysiological models are enough, full human brain emulations should be possible before mid‐century. Animal models of simple mammals would be possible one to two decades before this."

"swimming the shared waves of world consciousness; being a part of, and helping to build, this eternal soul"

Reviews and integrates a variety of computational approaches that have been used to characterize the dynamics of the cortex, as evidenced at different levels of measurement.

A three-dimensional map of large-scale neocortical pathways with high correlation between structural and functional connection patterns.

"A wonderfully written article that gives a great introduction to the physics of how MRI scanners work. It is both clearly written for the non-specialist and fantastically complete."

Friston's "brains are Bayesian predictors that minimize (thermodynamic) free energy" idea goes mainstream.

The paper that changed Stanislas Deheane's mind regarding the idea that there could never be a single, major, simple yet encompassing theory of how the brain works.

Shows that intranasal administration of oxytocin, a neuropeptide that plays a key role in social attachment and affiliation in non-human mammals, causes a substantial increase in trust among humans.

Discusses current and future methods of cognitive enhancement, ethical implications and how we, as a society, ought to respond. Comprehensive and balanced.

The Blue Brain Project is scheduled right now to last beyond 2015. By then, unless the project proves too ambitious, Markram and his team hope to be ready for their primary goal: a computer model of an entire human brain.

The OpenEEG project is about making plans and software for do-it-yourself EEG devices available for free (as in GPL).
