A secret language of cells? New cell computations uncovered

One thing that blew my mind was how limited they were by modern storage technology. Storing high-fidelity neuronal cross-section images consumed more space than what was available at the time. Each scan was crazy massive, something like a petabyte or an exabyte.

To store the entire human brain in this fashion would consume more storage space than that which exists on Earth.

This is the transcript of the talk I heard that told me about Blue Brain:

"It's called the Blue Brain project in Switzerland. They have combined many different types of technologies and what they have done is they have essentially created a type of MRI that can scan the entire brain. All of the intricate structures of the brain itself and what they have discovered is that some of us and have in our brains fourth, fifth, sixth dimensional structures already. There are other people that have seven, eight, nine dimensional structures in their brain. You're a third density physicality and yet in your brain you have multiple dimensional structures!"

I always come back to the book https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flatland and try and grok that hey, maybe dark matter we observe here in 3d is just stuff from these weird other directions a flatlander wouldn't understand.
