A handful of small questions for you. Have you, or will you, consider the possibility of the ethical implications that creating a human-like AI may have?
For example, you mention that this brain has human like tenancies in some of its behaviours. Are those behaviours unanticipated? And if so, when your type of brain becomes more complex, would you expect there to be more human-like unintended behaviours and patterns of thought?
At which point do you think you should consider a model brain an AI entity and not just a program? And even if an AI brain is not as complex as a human's, does it deserve any kind of ethical treatment in your view? In the biological sciences there are ethical standards for the handing any kind of vertebrate organism, including fish, even though there is still active debate over whether fish can feel pain or fear, and whether we should care if they do.
Do people in the AI community actively discuss how we should view, treat and experiment on a human-like intelligences once they've been created?

Great job guys!
