There are two ways to study the brain: in vivo (in a living organism) or in vitro (in the petri dish). But what if there was a third way? Neuroscientist Henry Markram envisions in silico, and that was the root of his Blue Brain Project: a plan to create a full electronic brain. But was Markram an interdisciplinary visionary, an arrogant techno dude bro, or Don Quixote? It's incorrect to describe In Silico as Noah Hutton's documentary follow-up to to his brilliant, incisive techno-satire Lapsis, since he's been working on it for a decade. Filming, he notes in his own commentary, began not long after Markram took to the TED stage and predicted that, not only was replicating the human brain doable, but that if it worked then he would be able to send a hologram to deliver a talk by itself.
