Andy built his first gaming PC at the tender age of 12, when IDE cables were a thing and high resolution wasn't. After spending over 15 years in the production industry overseeing a variety of live and recorded projects, he started writing his own PC hardware blog for a year in the hope that people might send him things. Sometimes they did.

The human brain remains, for the most part, something of a mystery. However, that hasn't stopped researchers from attempting to untangle one of the most complicated objects we as a species have encountered thus far, although by the looks of this research, they might have their work cut out for them.has managed to scan and map a single cubic millimetre of brain tissue, which created 1.4 petabytes of data in images alone .

Just the thought of it gives me a headache. Please don't sample mine, for future reference. I'm pretty sure if you looked at slides of my humble wetware unit, you'd get less of an impression of the density of the human brain and more of a collection of flipbook images depicting a dog riding in circles on a unicycle.

Now working as a hardware writer for PC Gamer, Andy can be found quietly muttering to himself and drawing diagrams with his hands in thin air. It's best to leave him to it.
