SBrain sounds rather dull.  Lets see, how about Matrioshka-
Spherical: MSBrain?  No, that sounds like a brain ravaged by
multiple sclerosis, or an AI by Bill Gates and company.  How 
about Bradburian Spherical: BSBrain?  Clearly that will not work.
We may be stuck with SBrain, but be sure the S has nothing to
do with spike.  {8-]  spike
