*Given the lack of a speaker this week we will not have a BIC Lecture as
such; rather, **Benjamin Elgie<http://www.mcgill.ca/graccolab/people#BENJAMIN>
** will once again be presenting several short TED videos related to the
Brain <http://www.ted.com/talks/tags/brain>.  Depending on the amount of
discussion that the videos generate, he will present Henry
Makram<http://people.epfl.ch/henry.markram/bio?lang=en&cvlang=en>'s
work on modelling "A Brain in a
Supercomputer<http://www.ted.com/talks/henry_markram_supercomputing_the_brain_s_secrets.html>
 ", Gero Miesenböck<http://www.cncb.ox.ac.uk/index.php/team28/group-leaders/78-the-team/70-gero-miesenboeck>'s
optogenetic work aimed at
"R<http://www.ted.com/talks/gero_miesenboeck.html>eengineering
a Brain <http://www.ted.com/talks/gero_miesenboeck.html>", and Kwabena
Boahen <http://www.stanford.edu/group/brainsinsilicon/boahen.html>'s work
on building a "Computer that Works like the
Brain<http://www.ted.com/talks/kwabena_boahen_on_a_computer_that_works_like_the_brain.html>
".*
