Recent heroic attempts to realistically simulate large cortical networks in the computer will be highlighted (e.g., \u201cthe Blue Brain Project\u201d) and processes related to perception, cognition and emotions in the brain will be discussed. For dessert we will deliberate on the future of brain research, including the questions of \u201cbrain and art\u201d, consciousness and free will.
