That's what I am interested in. I figure that with MEAs (embedded 
microelectrode arrays*) we could have live data streaming in to feed 
and constrain brain simulation software packages such as Henry 
Markram's Blue Brain project (GENESIS + neurocortical simulator + 400 
other packages). These constraints would shed significant light on 
what's going on or what we are not accounting for and so on as for lab 
testing. But more importantly it would also allow tracking of brain 
information with respect to a model with which we could run, say, 
separate 'mind agents' (or 'mind bots') to suggest shortcuts, and with 
the 'viral-gene-therapy-on-a-lab-on-a-(brain+gene)-chip' ideas would 
allow for self-optimization.

* MEAs aren't commonly attached to wireless gene chips, but when we're 
talking computational neurobiology, it's legit.
