As a sort of continuation of my last entry, I thought I’d post this excellent example of how technology is allowing us to do science in ways we never thought possible.
The video, by the Seed Media Group, shows several fascinating applications of computer modeling to scientific research. From now on, computer simulations will be used to study the places and things that are currently inaccessible to the instruments and practitioners of science.
As computing power becomes more available, the simulations will grow more advanced. As was mentioned in an earlier post, researchers have succeeded in simulating the synaptic patterns of part of a mouse brain.
Neato.
