A Working Brain Model
Posted In: Science by Andy at 6:33 am
Technology Review discusses an ambitious project to create an accurate computer model of the brain has reached an impressive milestone. Scientists in Switzerland working with IBM researchers have shown that their computer simulation of the neocortical column, arguably the most complex part of a mammal’s brain, appears to behave like its biological counterpart.
By demonstrating that their simulation is realistic, the researchers say, these results suggest that an entire mammal brain could be completely modeled within three years, and a human brain within the next decade.
Here come the cyborgs!!!
I like the new comment section BTW.
Hey Rizzo! yeah, I changed up a lot of stuff when i transfered the site to the new host provider, figured it was a good time to ‘flip the switch’ on a lot of things.
Looks great! I changed the design on mine as well…got tired of the “dark” look.
