For decades, the human brain has been the final frontier of science, a biological masterpiece so complex that we’ve only been able to study its parts in isolation. But what if we could build a functional, digital copy of it?

Martin Schrimpf, a researcher at EPFL, is moving away from the abstract debates of philosophy to the practical world of engineering, attempting to build a "digital twin" of the brain that can think, process language, and even help us heal.

In this episode of Mavericks of Science, we follow the journey of an entrepreneur turned scientist who is using AI to decode the most sophisticated computer in the universe.
