Supercomputer simulates key brain centre in real time by Edd Gent in NewScientist 12 October 2019 - The Sentient Robot

Neuromorphic computing is seen as potentially fertile territory in which to mimic the workings of the brain. It has taken a significant step forwards with the development of the SpiNNaker supercomputer at the University of Manchester. There is still a way to go. SpiNNaker can simulate in the thousands of neurons. The brain runs to billions of neurons.
