Lyrics

[Verse 1]
In silicon dreams where neurons dance
Blue Brain builds a rat's romance
S1 column fires precise and clean
Ten thousand cells in NEURON's scene
Brian2 scripts the action flow
While NEST orchestrates the show
Digital dendrites pulse with code
Mapping cortex, cell by node

[Chorus]
Simulate, integrate, decode the brain
NEURON Brian NEST cascading through the chain
Virtual cortex firing true
Predictive coding breaking through
Rao and Wang's equations reign
In silicon we model pain and gain

[Verse 2]
Whittington's hierarchies climb
Bogacz predicts what's next in time
Error signals backward sweep
While forward models secrets keep
TPJ connects the scattered light
Virtual Brain maps left to right
Mouse connectome spinning whole
Hemodynamics tell the soul

[Chorus]
Simulate, integrate, decode the brain
NEURON Brian NEST cascading through the chain
Virtual cortex firing true
Predictive coding breaking through
Rao and Wang's equations reign
In silicon we model pain and gain

[Bridge]
Attractor basins hold the state
PFC circuits modulate
Working memory's sacred hold
Wang's equations brave and bold
Neurorobotics walks the earth
Giving digital neurons worth
Sensorimotor loops complete
Silicon flesh and steel heartbeat

[Verse 3]
Spike trains thunder through the wire
Compartmental models never tire
Hodgkin-Huxley gates swing wide
Calcium waves and sodium tide
Plasticity learns and grows
Synaptic weights the network knows
From microcircuit to the whole
Consciousness emerges from control

[Verse 4]
GPU clusters run the race
Parallel threads in neural space
MPI distributes the load
While STDP writes learning's code
Izhikevich neurons fire fast
Leaky integrate makes signals last
Neural mass and spiking nets
Different scales the mind begets

[Final Chorus]
Simulate, integrate, decode the brain
NEURON Brian NEST cascading through the chain
Virtual cortex firing true
Predictive coding breaking through
Blue Brain's vision takes the stage
Silicon minds unlock the cage

[Outro]
In the servers neurons gleam
Building consciousness supreme
Code and cortex intertwined
Modeling the human mind
