On "complexity", I would point out that the computational power of the
neural pathways of the house fly thoroughly exceeds the computational
throughput of our most massive supercomputer clusters at the moment.

That was true 20 years ago.

A housefly's brain contains just 400 neurons.  Your PC can easily simulate
a 400 neuron neural network at faster update rates than biological neurons.

The problem isn't the raw computational power.

Roger doger on that. I understand that C. Elegins (sp?) is the current top
project goal for this sort of stuff. Something like 10,000 neurons.
