Six months ago I gave myself a challenge: build the entire pipeline for whole-brain simulation, in pure Python, on a single laptop. From raw imaging to consciousness metrics. End-to-end. No black boxes.
Today I'm opening up the first preview.
Whole Brain Emulation v0.1 — a connectome-level neural simulation framework with Hodgkin–Huxley channels, multi-compartment cable equations, STDP plasticity, glia, neuromodulation, neurovascular coupling, consciousness metrics, and biological-benchmark validation. 137 tests passing.
This is the second project in my Cosmos Research Institute — a personal portfolio of "computational emulation" systems. The first one was a multi-scale human-body simulator (cardio, respiratory, nervous, endocrine, immune — 255 tests). This one zooms into the brain.
