Prediction text
Mouse brain is 'next' for whole-brain emulation at Eon Systems | I think history will say that this weekend, the weekend of Abundant Summit 2026, was the moment when the first model organism had an entire brain uploaded. So, what's next? A mouse.
Watch events: Neuralink human trial enrollment; first commercial BCI
Verbatim quote
I think history will say that this weekend, the weekend of Abundant Summit 2026, was the moment when the first model organism had an entire brain uploaded. So, what's next? A mouse.
Predictor: Alex Wissner-Gross
Calibration plot (stated vs observed)
Evidence about this node from Alex Wissner-Gross is multiplied by κ in /api/intake. Lower κ = less weight; floors at 0.10 (effectively silenced) and caps at 1.00 (full weight).
Reference class
This node isn't linked to a reference class. The Bayesian update applies without outside-view blending.
