The simulations are carried out on a Blue Gene supercomputer built by IBM‚ hence the name "Blue Brain". Actors Behind the scene Alan Turing (1912-1954) started to build the Brain but ended up with a computer.. In 1952 ‚ Hodgkin & Huxley published the Highly successful model of ionic currents that allowed simulation of action potential. On 1st July 2005‚ The Brain Mind Institute
