on the cold spring harbor lab faculty info page they describe dmitri's work as involving "principles of brain design". i really like this phrase because to me it implies that's he's actually building a brain. but apparently it doesn't imply that to anyone else. what he's actually doing is applying the math of optimization to see how neurons and pathways in the brain are put together. still, if it came out that he had unfinished parts of artificial brains in jars somewhere in the back of his office, i'd be quite pleased.
