Video: Ted Talk- Henry Markram Builds A Brain In A Supercomputer!
This is pretty interesting stuff ! One slight setback, complexity theory teaches us that the “whole” differs substantially from “the parts”. Either way, I’m encouraged by this video – to think that your editor was once majored in neuroscience and electrical engineering…..
About this talk (Via Ted)
Henry Markram says the mysteries of the mind can be solved — soon. Mental illness, memory, perception: they’re made of neurons and electric signals, and he plans to find them with a supercomputer that models all the brain’s 100,000,000,000,000 synapses.
About Henry Markram (Via Ted)
Henry Markram is director of Blue Brain, a supercomputing project that can model components of the mammalian brain to precise cellular detail — and simulate their activity in 3D.
