Not necessarily brain simulations, but generally connectionist AI software. Put a graph into the machine and have operations on the graph be computed in a parallel fashion. Propagate information over the graph connections...
Thinking Machines as a company struggled with defining the target market: was it a machine for AI algorithms or was it a more general machine. See it's use with Fortran, doing more traditional stuff, not AI.
