Whole Brain Simulation Task

A Whole Brain Simulation Task is an brain simulation task to simulate a brain.

• Example(s):
  • a Whole Human Brain Emulation Task.
  • a Whole Mouse Brain Emulation Task.
  • a Whole Frog Brain Emulation Task.
  • …
• Counter-Example(s):
  • a Partial Brain Emulation.
  • a Peripheral Nervous System Simulation Task.
• See: Human-level Intelligence.
